Hate the fact that she championed the $2 Uber fare surcharge that starts in August. $2 Tax Surcharge for rides that start or end in "high traffic" areas in DC. HATE HER!

Two whole dollars? Boo frickin hoo. You car commuters inconvenience our city for a hella lot more than $2 per trip.[/quote]

So commercial real estate (which provides a large amount of tax revenue to DC) is tanking---especially in downtown.  DC needs to be doing everything it can to get people to come downtown and spend money because downtown is slowly becoming a crime-ridden ghost town like it was in the 1980s and 90s.  Not everyone is a 30 yo bicyclist.   People coming downtown for a business dinner aren't going to be cycling.  People taking grandparents and kids to the Warner Theater for a show are not going to bicycle and older people with mobility challenges find metro difficult.  If you want to discourage people from driving themselves, then don't tax the uber drivers.  [/quote]

People coming downtown for a business dinner or going to the warner theatre can't afford an extra $2? [/quote]
