[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A joke of a public transit system, especially for the capital city of the U.S.; An incompetent tax office that steals money out of bank accounts instead of issuing owed refunds; An "emergency parking" system that is basically never enforced; No traffic police while we have increasingly dangerous roads and hordes of people riding illegal motorcycles everywhere; Litter and trash everywhere and apparently no solution; A huge rat problem (reported in numerous sourced this week); A zoning board that can't be bothered to prevent eyesores or dangerous non-permitted flips; A 911 system that is so bad multiple people have died because emergency responders went to the wrong address or didn't show up at all; A seeming inability to do anything about spiking crime rates. What do our tax dollars do, again?[/quote] Well let's debunk your first one. DC does not manage the transit system. Have you not heard of "The Compact". Also, after reading hysterical posts like yours over the years on DCUM, I was surprised to learn from a recent Washington Post article that WMATA is not the worst manages, dangerous, and dysfunctional transit system in the US. Apparently, NY, NJ, Chicago, Miami, and Boston is worst in regards derailments, fires, budgeting etc. metro is ranked in the middle of the pact [/quote]
