Thanks so much! That’s great info.

Teleworking? That term just reads oddly like you woke up from 10 years ago.

Is it just fragmented crews of drug-dealers & users who get into issues over payment, theft, market share, etc. of street drugs?

Just confused b/c obviously DC doesn't have gangs like out in L.A. / Chicago. And I understand why gangs get into violent feuds over market share and who sells what drug on which block, etc. So is it kinda just the same thing but less structured/organized and more fragmented?

Just can't understand how so many lives are lost over a few grams of drugs. If we were talking Cartel level distribution with millions on the line, being trafficked by organized crime rings, I could at least understand why the stakes are so high that violence is inevitable. When these drug dealers get busted do they get caught with >$100K or is it literally just dudes killing each other over a few $20 bills?

Were you able to confirm what the noise was? I can’t find anything on Nextdoor either

I would just carry a shovel and beat the shit out of it. At the very least wear boots and kick it.

$275 for monthly parking in a garage

I hate not being able to work at some of my fave coffee shops bc of that.

However, just like it’s their choice to have that policy and a designated space, it’s my choice to find somewhere that does allow laptops or wait out a spot. There’s a lot of great local spots that still allow that.

I’m so happy you’ve found good answers. I hope the person you’re looking to hep gets the right support for healing

You can also buy either of these options online and have on your phone

Those crimes are about 97% drug related. Mind your business and there's nothing to be scared of.

Just commenting to say what a nice perspective from you! Rare to see someone change their mind so reasonably

Most of y’all remote work anyway. Just get wasted in secret lol

Idk, every time I check for violent crime it seems to be getting worse and worse. Talking about 10+ shootings a week. Hard to overlook man, I just hate violence.

Tbf, I’m only repping Compass over Maman, specifically for coffee in that two-three block radius on Wisconsin Ave.

Beyond that, trust me on chocolate and pastries. My opinions on Coffee are far from reliable.

Their store isn’t your office. They don’t want it to become that with people working everywhere and using their WiFi. You’re not entitled to an area to work while in a private establishment. Abide by their rules or find a new place.

Yes, it's already in motion. Google Connecticut Ave redevelopment.

Street park for whatever the permit costs. Used my building’s garage for 4 years and my car was damaged three different times. Have been Street parking for many more since, and have suffered only some minor bumper scrapes.

Im already drinking lol

Ok could've but I didn't. I was around back then and saw that stuff first hand.

As much people talk about things they don't know anything about. I frankly don't want to hear it.

The commenter above mentioned STEM PhD industry salaries are like 200k. Perhaps specific stem fields although most folks don’t consider social science a stem field despite science being in the name. Also the titles of positions can be confusing and arbitrary - ie a “research associate” for some organizations require a PhD while others require at least a bachelors.

capital one arena is only caesars sporks book and they said they want to use FanDuel and im pretty sure FanDuel isnt yet allowed to operate in DC.

No reason necessary. The research archivists will probably be happy that someone stopped by out of curiosity! Just make sure you follow the archive rules carefully.

I stopped driving to work because the garages in my work area are $250-$310 per month.
