[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what the people who live in apartment buildings on Connecticut order for breakfast or what they think about bike lanes, and I’m not totally sure how some of you seem to be so certain you do. Personally, I live in a single family house, commute downtown by bike on Connecticut a few times a week, and go in person to pick up takeout restaurant orders except for maybe three or four times a year when we order delivery for our kids when we’re not home. Not sure DoorDash has anything to do with this entire debate?[/quote]

The backbone of the DC economy is commercial real estate which is kept afloat by MD and VA car commuters that pay $30+/day to park in trophy office buildings and drop $2k at business dinners at Joe’s. You make them sit in traffic and they stay home. Your lunchbox and  bike lifestyle is not on the radar of city leaders, with good reason. Because it would bankrupt our city. [/quote]

Obviously commercial real estate is the backbone of the city’s economy. My only point is, the people who want bike lanes are not all “Bike Bros” in their 20s who live in apartments and order their food delivered. Which was basically the sole subject of the last two pages of this discussion. [/quote]
Pretty sure the last two pages have been about someone who doesn’t live in the area getting mad and having a fit because it’s pointed out they obviously don’t live in the area. [/quote]

Because they said Venezualeans on mopeds are most of the drivers?  Sounds more like someone orders way too much delivery and thinks that's normal.[/quote]
LOL. And it continues. If you don’t live in the area what are you doing posting about bike lanes in DC? So bizarre. [/quote]

Not as bizzare as the amount of delivery you seem to order.[/quote]
I am not sure what this is supposed to mean. You said that most delivery drivers in the city are Venezuelans on mopeds. Which is outlandishly bizarre and something you could only come up with because you read a story in the Washington Post about a small, but growing group of Venezuelan moped delivery drivers. It’s these sorts of small reveals that pulls back the curtain a little on who is keeping a 90 page thread alive on a subject that is over. And apparently it’s an obsessed nutter who doesn’t live here. Your interest, along with the volume of posting is objectively crazy. FYI. [/quote]
