[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Strange how Navy Yard is booming with increasing density and yes … bike lanes! [/quote]
Bless your heart that you think Navy Yard is booming because of bike lanes. LOL![/quote]

Well your argument seems to be that bikelanes destroy commerce and make people run away shrieking. Whereas Navy Yard (and now the Wharf)
is the perfect example of density with transit being a new focus of growth in DC. [/quote]
There are barely any protected, on-street bike lanes in and around Navy Yard. Is this a joke?[/quote]
