It isn't the job of the city to subsidize a suburban car commute. Residents come first.

You are in no way shape or form required to drive. There's metro, the bus, Lime scooters, the Bikeshare. Just because you prefer to drive doesn't mean the city has to pay for it.

City pay for it? By ticketing a lawful resident that doesnt want to lose their voting rights or their car? Great solution

You're not a resident if you haven't changed your residency. DC wants less cars. You don't like the rules, don't live in the city.

Imagine that, some people live two places. What a meme bike boy you are. And people wonder why no one pays their tickets. Just charge for the permit and youll actually have people pay, no one wants to lose voting rights for no benefit

That's what ROSA is for, but you still can't get a permit. Those are the rules because DC is clogged with cars and they want to be able to provide space for people who live in the city year-round. Street permits are hugely subsidized for full-time residents. If you don't like it, you could live part time in the suburbs instead.

Yeah why would anyone pay for ROSA when it has zero benefit. Meme city and meme citizens
