[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a great idea!

Let's have runners who are huffing and puffing go to the same place as old people going for a walk!

What's the worst that could happen?[/quote]

People would be safer just exercising wherever they happen to live. [/quote]

Which is exactly why there should be a DC-wide program to give street space to people wherever they happen to live.[/quote]

[b]There is no one on the sidewalks. [/b]

The streets are empty.

We have bike lanes no one uses.

We have more parks than any other city in America.

There isn't even anyone on the Mall.

The idea that people don't have space to move is absurd.

This is just the anti-car folks trying to exploit the pandemic. [/quote]

Where do you live? Because it's certainly not in the DC area. I don't know what things are like in Nizhni Novgorod.

I went on a half-hour walk yesterday in Ward 4 and did not pass a single person on the sidewalk. [/quote]

Good thing that the mayor wants to keep existing density in most of her home ward and preserve neighborhood character, even while she seeks significant density changes west of the park.[/quote]

I go on long drives through the city, just to get out of the house, and the sidewalks pretty much everywhere are empty. There's hardly anyone out.

This idea that people don't have room to move is really just a big lie by the anti-car crowd. [/quote]
