Loud ATV drivers at night? City government? Police?

Urban dwellers complaining about urbanity that doesn't match their favored white-washed vision of big city life. Meh.

Such a sad reflection on your low standards that you consider that all acceptable in urban life.

The ATV issue has been going on for YEARS--since the 90s at least. Nobody is going to crack down on this. It is a complex issue tied up in "dc culture".

Tell us more about what you know about big city life. What world cities have you lived in? DC barely rates, actually. It was designed to remain a provincial Southern capital and it sure has. DC is a small town person's idea of what a big city should be.

So you're going to tell people who come here from bigger, better, more vibrant, and functional cities what city life ought to be? You've got this backwards.

Why city government does nothing about it or about literally anything? Crime, poverty, mental health, homelessness, drugs, rodents, graffiti, deterioration, list goes on. Just resign and let other people try.

Sounds like city living just isn’t for you, dear.

Sounds like you have limited experience of the kinds of struggles for neighborhood amenities that happen all the time in major cities that haven't been abandoned to destructive elements like DC has. Noise conflicts are the norm, not the exception, in cities that successfully include a middle class with families and working stiffs.

This is what happens when achieve a critical mass of white people in a formerly Black city.

Local teens having fun was never a problem until a bunch of white people from somewhere else moved here (to live in a city!) and then started complaining about the things that attracted them here in the first place.

Demographic change is normal. Pedantic point: this was only a predominantly Black city for a few decades. DC is also a formerly not Black city. Just don't make claims about what always was and forever should be because the always was part is not true.

So when an ATV races onto a sidewalk and kills a toddler, that's just "culture"? Got it.

Right? You don’t see this sht in Tokyo or cities that actually attempt to prosecute crime. I’ve been a city dweller in SE my whole life and it’s still fked up. Seems you’re the one with the skewed, poor informed perspective. People pulling wheelies on atvs and actually running into people and maybe cars swerve off the road isn’t normal. It’s not hip. This doesn’t make you sound cool or like you’re “keeping it real” when you bash people complaining. You just sound annoying as fk.

Dude dc was “chocolate city” for like 30 years. Before that it was majority white. The point is that the demographics shift. You sound bitter. This is coming from here. I’ve done everything dc in the world from listening to rare essence, mungo sauce, kin’s karate, I’m more dc than you. This sht still sucks with these atv fks.

White people in cars are evil incarnate.

Black children driving ATVs down the middle of major arteries are “urban culture.”

Got it.

(Are there people who are really this stupid?)

DC was a majority white city until the 1950s. And no one -- black, white, or other -- moved here because they were attracted to hooligans riding dirt bikes on sidewalks.
