I like baby changing tables but Colbert King has a point, our Council has been up to so much silly nonsense of late. 
It would be one thing if announcements like this were on top of legislation to address unemployment, transit woes, education quality, good food for school children, crime, sanitation, parking
But resounding crickets on that kind of stuff. We can all just fend for ourselves I guess.[/quote]

Parking?  That's now a priority?  Seriously?[/quote]

Actually, it is.   Livability is important to those of us who live here, and we define it different ways. I've had friends in tears crying after their umpteenth ticket. The city council wants everyone peddling bikes, walking or riding transport and often purposefully limits parking on new construction. At the same time, they seem oblivious to metro woes. Yes - for those of us who live here parking is a quality of life issue. I'm personally glad that on my block (I dont drive) my neighbors dont have to circle the block 50 times as we are a rare street with parking. Yes, the Council should be working on bread and butter issues for us. Not just on trendy issues that basically put all D.C. residents on the tip of the spear of national liberal pet projects.[/quote]

I turned a job down because it did not come with parking. I will not rely on Metro, and I am not riding my bike in the cold. [/quote]

You people need to live in the exurbs, where parking is free and plentiful, or for Congress.  Pay for a private space or park legally.  Consider a car sharing service if that's too much for those with an absurd sense of entitlement.[/quote]

Why in the world would I do that. I have a company paid parking space at my office in DC and two parking spaces at my home in DC, why in the world would I give that up?  Are you in insane. [/quote]
