Ya, that’s what I’ve been trying, it’s interface is just so cluttered and it doesn’t integrate with CarPlay as well as Google or Apple Maps

Reply to comment by 1800TurdFerguson in Anyone miss the old DC? by sg8910
I mean DC ran on slavery right up until the war, so much less of a white working class than comparable Northeast and Midwest, but it was certainly still present. Swampoodle (NoMA today) has a pretty well documented history of white working class settlement. In terms of the working class overall, large portions of the city saw the removal of small, affordable alley homes in 20th century urban renewal schemes. Not only did this erase naturally-affordable housing in dynamic, mixed-income areas, it also shifted the geography of poverty such that it became concentrated in the new top-down housing projects that were built in their place. Most of the poor whites gtfo’ed after this happened (the King riots basically closing the door completely).
I’m from the Rust Belt so it was a huge culture shock for me. The black culture in DC is richer (both financially and culturally) but otherwise not substantially different from my hometown. The white people in each city though live in completely different worlds.

Apple maps is always trash. Google maps too. Waze has worked best for me.

As a hardcore DC fan and resident for 7 years - I miss the old DC very hard!
Peak DC for me was 2015–2018

Actually if you subscribed to it or read the petition you would see there are categories and they are inconsistently applied.

We considered including enthusiasts but seemed like a weak argument

Reply to comment by giscard78 in Local advice for boarding/finding a sitter for a reactive pup? by dsarky
this - we have reactive pups and I basically made a message template talking about the dogs and their particular quirks when reaching out to Rover sitters, and have found a few that have been great. I filter on Rover sitters that only board your dogs and that have a yard. You'll be surprised at how many sitters have experience with reactive dogs/have vet tech experience/etc

The issue I have with it is who decides who should be institutionalized? How would safeguards work so that institutions don’t just turn into jail dlc?

The ones I’ve seen have 6 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and a shared living room/balcony/kitchen/laundry

Nothing responsible about increasing use of public alert systems so people start tuning them out.

There is a short driveway right next to the Jenifer Street elevator. I've used it for years with no problem.

Who wouldn't need their own bathroom, though?

Reply to Man going door to door asking to see energy bill to reduce carbon emissions. Scam? by andrewmandrew23
You probably also already get junk mail from them. There’s a couple clean energy companies going around doing this. If you go along with it, they’ll transfer your electric account and jack up your costs.
Beyond being annoying and charging you more, they don’t do anything else. Your electric supply stays the same.

Literally just had a knock a minute ago in Truxton. I just said i wasn’t the one that paid the bill and he moved on quickly.
