[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite what a small group of loud people are saying, D.C. remains a (small) car-centric city within a larger car-centric metropolitan area.[/quote]

Claims the person who lives outside of DC.

Many in DC don't even own cars.  Some of my co-workers gave up their cars when the moved to DC.  Some like me still have cars but only use them on the weekend for outings.  My car is paid off, low mileage and in good condition, might last me 10 years.  But I often consider getting rid of it altogether.[/quote]
DP.

1. You have no idea where that person lives but it’s awesome that you’re providing to be presumptuous and arrogantly authoritative. That’s always a hallmark of high intelligence.

2. It’s awesome that you’ve paid your car off and barely use it. Again, it’s fascinating that you are so presumptuous to believe and command that everyone should be like you and the small handful of people you know at work.

A little humility would make this world a much better place. [/quote]

"DC is car-centric" - LMAO.  Census ACS studies have shown that around 40% of DC households don't have cars.   And the number of DC households without cars has been increasing and will continue to increase with bike shares, ride shares and other options.  DC is not at all as car-centric as the DMV burbs are, but I can see how someone from the burbs would make that mistake.[/quote]
There is about 1 registered vehicle for every adult between 18-65. [/quote]

Totally false.  There are around 548k adults over 18 years in Washington DC.  https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/DC

There are only 298k vehicle registrations in DC. https://dmv.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dmv/page_content/attachments/Historical%20Registration%20Data%20FY2010-FY2021.pdf

That's only 0.54 of a car for every adult in DC.

Stop posting fake info to try and justify you dangerously speeding through residential DC neighborhoods like the maniac that you are.[/quote]
