I’ll keep my car and I’ll keep living in DC. I’ll also keep avoiding small-minded people like you who think an ideal can be made real by complaining and throwing metaphorical eggs at the other side.

It’s not small minded - it’s “reality.” Imagine everyone owning a car in dc. Imagine all the new apartments requiring an additional parking garage or even an underground parking garage. Imagine all the row homes that are turned into condos and each owner parking their car on the street or families owning 3 cars and occupying street parking on a block.
Now imagine all those people transiting to work with all the people from MD and B VA as well.

The reality is that everyone won’t own a car it DC. But some well. There isn’t a problem with owning a car in DC. Some of y’all act like people are evil for owning a car and not wanting to depend on wmata or ride a bike around like Lance Armstrong

It’s not reality for everyone in DC to not have a car. No one is advocating for everyone in DC to have a car either. I don’t see a viable solution to quickly getting rid of cars in the city so I’m trying to understand all the hate.

So because there isn't a quick solution we shouldn't try?

We should try. We shouldn’t hate.

I agree, but most car owners don't want to try. I think that's where the hate comes from.
