[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did people go downtown for fun even before the pandemic? If I went downtown, I found a way to get there that didn't involve driving myself into the heart of downtown. But downtown was never "the place to be" even 5 years ago. Unless you worked there and went out somewhere after work, I guess but fewer people go into offices everyday anymore after the pandemic no matter where they work. There's a complete cultural shift in terms of being required to go to work.[/quote]
So you never preferred to venture into the most urbanized part of city and instead preferred your gentle density neighborhood instead? That tells its own story.

However, there was once a time when downtown included quality shopping, restaurants and nightlife. That’s dead now and the city is really ensuring that it never comes back. [/quote]

I used to go out in Georgetown, U St, Adams Morgan, Dupont. Rarely by metro center/Chinatown but if we were seeing a show or game. I used to work in Georgetown, Dupont, did classes at Georgetown, even after moving to Capitol Hill then moving farther out in NE where I could afford a home. In any of these situations, I did not drive to get to these places because I viewed going to them similar to going into NYC. None of my friends drove to downtown. Not worth the headache so you either take the metro or cab/uber. Especially if you are going out and know you'll be drinking. [/quote]
