  1. lol - doesn't stop folks here!
  2. it's actually much much worse - it's almost $1 billion ($890 million). https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/dc/dc-millions-dollars-unpaid-tickets/65-9620d760-a06c-451e-b173-25125f75779b
  3. DC has an issue where there is no reciprocity with VA and MD, so camera tickets you get in DC don't do anything to your points if you are a MD or VA driver. And DC doesn't have the resources to boot/tow every car with this level of violations (it's an ongoing discussion here). The frustrating thing here is that most of these insane levels of violations are from out-of-state drivers where DC has limited resources to go after them.
  4. it's horrific - and some people say, "oh what's the big deal they had some tickets" - of course until something like that happens. I think about it every time my kids cross the street.
  5. that said - if one of the cars ended up as it it did, someone was traveling too fast. I think folks forget that when they are driving, they are operating a massive piece of machinery that can easily kill other people (or themselves). Too many people are killed on our roadways.
  6. if the driver survived they need to be charged with murder
  7. California's been getting some Day After Tomorrow-like shit this year lol
  8. weather-wise, living in Boston for the winter would be nice. But their spring is a dealbreaker. Nope.
  9. it's way way worse the further north you go. There were many April days where we'd be stuck in the 40s/50s in NYC while you all would be basking in the 70s and 80s. And then up in Boston that shit lasts until late May.
  10. i loathe MD but I was actually pulling for them. The game just got away from them in the 2nd half. But they are on the rebound - too bad the left the ACC.
  11. Metro might actually hit some pre-pandemic numbers (right now they are around 300-330k / day during the week vs 600-650k in early 2020).
  12. Arlington and Alexandria were already populated in the 1950s (albeit smaller than present day). DC actually was larger (804k people in the 1950 census). It's not like it was farm land around DCA in 1950. In other words, the UHI already existed by then in and around DCA.
  13. the built environment around DCA isn't dramatically different from 1950 to the present. Some place like IAD? Definitely. But your core urban stations (DCA, NYC, etc) were already built up by the 50s.
  14. yeah that was a wild one. We lived on the top floor of a downtown apt building, and man you could hear it once the wind really picked up. The next day they closed the pedestrian bridge connecting the Tysons Corner silver line station and the plaza by the mall and office buildings.
  15. had some brief flakes or frozen precip of some kind in NW DC into Bethesda, but obviously nothing really of note.
  16. Feel like we need to start talking about drought. I'm only at like 4.5" of precip since Jan 1.
  17. there are prob 3 cities in the country that see our traffic and are like, yeah that's ok. ATL is one of them.
  18. embrace it man - it also means places like the Sierras get like 12ft in one weekend. We just have to go to those places.
  19. Yeah May 2020 was nuts - if you recall there was a day where we barely got into the low 50s in the city (and colder outside) with sunny skies.
  20. Felt like i heard some sleet in Tenley - pretty miserable 39.7F rn
  21. lol - just want to point out that the Tucson photo is some ugly sprawl while Philly is a gorgeous skyline photo and DC is the Jefferson Memorial. Enjoy your snow tho!
  22. sorry brooklyn I should've posted a pic of the R train - but the enthusiasm is the same lol
