Yeah there shouldn't be complaints, this is how you get dense housing. I'm a city utopian kind of person and people like me always glamorize Europe but the truth is, their housing is very dense and not every place looks like Emily in Paris unless you're wealthy.

Yeah, I think anyone who's been apartment hunting in the past decade or more has noticed this.

There always seems to be a lot less maintenance-related issues in the older buildings, as well.

I've lived in two different "luxury" buildings in NoMa and they both had the same problems...fire alarms constantly would go off, HVAC would break, thin walls/noise issues, the in-unit washer flooded, "brand new" fridge broke, etc.

I live in an older building (that's like a tank) now in Dupont for less than any of those luxury buildings.

I wish, I've been searching for ages and never found one. The same used to be true of Korean spas and now there's three in the area. Hoping the same happens lol

Order a steak and a glass of water.

Right after the waiter brings these items and turns to leave, dump out the glass of water onto your steak while yelling, "let's slop 'em up!"

Immediately start cutting and eating the steak.

Welcome to the Dangerous Nights Crew.

I will note that I haven't actually seen the detail that the shooter was a violence interrupter in the news coverage of this incident on WaPo or WAMU. Is there any real journalist out there corroborating?

I have been in the same office for 16 years! I think most people want stability. Some are built for moving and grooving through agencies, consulting firms and job titles. Some just want to clock in, do their job, clock out and go home.

Just order whatever you want, you're a grown up

Everything about this post was a curveball. From the title I thought this was going to be like those posts in r/NYC that wish for the grimier but cheaper days.

Then I thought you'd say you were walking in Shaw or Chinatown or another neighborhood that seems to have gone backward in the pandemic but you said Foggy Bottom and Dupont, which seem to be about the same as before.

So cool; honestly i've only been through Bellevue a few times!

Sounds great, right?

And yet study, after study, after study has shown that stiffer penalties do little to curb crime.

Editing to add: I love how Reddit is all about data and then when you bring up data that goes against their instincts on criminal justice it’s just straight vitriol and downvotes.

I casually hung out with a reservist officer and she was wild and fun, and then a few enlisted girls and they were all depressed and talked about the SSRI's they were prescribed... and all of them were just hoping to get orders to go to Europe.

Ha!

Assuming this isn’t satire, anything on the lunch menu is acceptable. If you are not paying, it’d be respectful to not order the NY Strip and stick to something in the middle tier price wise. If you’re paying and want to be extravagant, you can say “I’m thinking about getting the (name of more expensive dish)” to encourage your guests to follow suit. Generally, starting with a salad, followed by a main is most common.

This is the answer. People practice driving here all the time. Wide open.

You can probably tell by my Navy Yard flair, but in unit laundry is way up my list and character is way down it.

Do you fetch lattes?

How?

Can you elaborate? I’m trying to figure out what about this situation makes them “drama queens”?

No but it’s the majority and should be taken into account when assessing personal risk.

Working their way up to a room with a window sounds on brand with DC at least.. I definitely like the ones where there’s the fogged glass barn door and the wall that stops before the ceiling, so at least natural light can sort of get through!
