Everything DC manages is a disaster

This, I just had to take my can back. That neighbor knows they don't have two new cans.

DC does not manage WMATA.

Here is some actual information:

DC does manage Circulator buses and CaBi (through contracts), both of which work well.

DCPS is so horrendous that President Obama wouldn't dare subject his children to even the very best school DCPS has to offer.

Not every U.S. City is the capitol of the USA.

The pathetic condition of DC over the past 4 decades is a national (and international) disgrace.

It's capital not Capitol

Because they can no longer afford it. Doesn't live in DC who wants but who can

OP, I guess you have two choices: help, or get out. Complaining doesn't do anything for anybody, including you.

Yup. And an utter lack of understanding between the relationship between the city and Congress. And an utter lack of understanding of DC's history. And an utter lack of understanding between federal "Washington" and local "DC."

Really,? The enrollment numbers for DCPS and their charters are up, not down. On a different note, why do you care so much about the operations of DC. It's obvious you don't live in the city. Why the faux concern?

Someone already addressed each and every one. Perhaps it would help if you tried reading at the beginning and not skipping to the end of a thread.
