Former Hill East ANC Commissioner Denise Krepp has been trying to get data from the USAODC for years. I believe she had to sue several years ago and still has to do FOIA requests to get any data.

The Wolfgang cohort crime study is a famous criminology study that examined the criminal behavior of a cohort of 10,000 males who were born in Philadelphia in 1945. The study was conducted by Marvin Wolfgang and his colleagues, and was published in the book "Delinquency in a Birth Cohort" in 1972.
The study followed the cohort from birth until age 18, and collected data on their criminal behavior, including arrests and convictions. The study found that a small percentage of the cohort was responsible for a disproportionate amount of the crimes committed during the study period. Specifically, just 6% of the cohort accounted for more than half of the arrests.
The study also found that the patterns of offending were stable over time, with persistent offenders being more likely to continue committing crimes as they got older. The study identified several risk factors for criminal behavior, including poverty, low academic achievement, and family disruption.
The Wolfgang cohort crime study was groundbreaking in its use of longitudinal data to examine the development of criminal behavior, and has been influential in the field of criminology. The study provided evidence for the concept of "chronic offenders" who are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime, and highlighted the importance of early intervention to prevent the onset of delinquent behavior.

I don’t recommend task rabbit. They ran overtime; didn’t have the proper equipment, were slow and I ended up doing a lot of the work. I could have paid for real movers and done a lot less work for what I paid. Also, if you’ve never used TR before, I was surprised by the fee structure and didn’t appreciate it.

U-Haul if you have a driver's license and are up for the manual labor. 19.95 + mileage + insurance.

For that quick of a move, hiring labor might be a little hard, but it's been done a million times. See the other posts. Though, I was able to hire a few people to simply move furniture into a different room for floor refinishing refinishing.

Also, Capitol Heights is a town in MD nowhere near Howard University (I assume the HU). Do you mean Columbia Heights? If so, U-Haul in NOMA (called "Capitol Hill") or Brentwood ("Intown") are both super easy. Use the app or get a key at the counter. (The app is kinda terrible, but 24/7)

Tony Cheng’s in Chinatown DC. First floor is Mongolian BBQ, second floor is what you are looking for. They include a high gratuity at the Mongolian BBQ - preCovid - be careful about overtipping.
