Oh man, you really need to drop the /s tag

Cars are a absolutely the problem. You don’t need a 12 foot 5000lb pound vehicle to move people in this use case. This is a scenic area, you should be walking or biking. There are plenty of metro stops to park at outside the city and ride in for the walk or bike, you can bring a bike on metro at any time or use bike share.

Yea that’s not how it works… you would never get more than you paid for the bike. There are also versions of the bill that have it so you need to by from a dc based bike shop who facilitates the rebate, no bike shops have those garbage AliExpress bikes. Now if you got a free or nearly free bike and never use it well then sucks to be you, but there are going to be others that do so i say we are still coming out ahead.

A good conscience that they are trying to pass good legislation.

I saw somewhere it’s tied to how Snap benefits are measured

If they can easily afford it but don’t buy one, and then this rebate is put in place and they buy one it does it’s job. The goals is get more people to replace car trips with bikes.

Definitely still crime but I have been here last 10 and it’s better than it was from my perspective. Crime is amplified because of social media. I have fallen to the bike DC cult in the last 3 years, we are now a bike 1st family. Infra is getting better and better, we live near the beautiful new C ST lanes.

No but it’s the majority and should be taken into account when assessing personal risk.

Yea I get Hill East is different thank Carver Langston and hard to really know from a snapshot from Aldi or Hecinger Mall. You need to live in the community to know it.

Take a look, what it won’t show you that it’s mostly not random acts of violence. We don’t get harassed when walking our kids to the park or riding our bikes. If you aren’t doing shady stuff with shady people it’s fine.

Hey neighbor! Don’t listen to them, they don’t live here. We have been here for 5 years, and another 5 just i the other side of Benning, 17th and gales. Carver Langston is a great spot, it being tucked away means you don’t get a ton of through traffic, but sort of hard to bike out of currently. H st is great for a night out but downtown is also accessible real easy via X2. You can go north south in B2. Biking is on the way up mostly south of us but 17th and Mt Olivet are due for upgrades which will get you to Union Market and Ivy Cit pretty easily. General city issues of course, be kind, say hello and keep your head up. Don’t go to shady spots at 2 in the morning to by drugs and you will be fine. Let me know if you have any questions!

I am pretty sure there were always part of the interim plan before a final capital project, I recently saw an announcement about that kicking back off. FL going to be a mess for year+, but hopefully worth it.
