Can we not forget DC has great bus lines? I take buses all the time and they pick up /drop off all over[/quote]

Buses are transit.

But DC does not have great bus lines. They're slow, they're often crowded, and they're vulnerable to cuts.

Then they should be eyed by the density crowd, whose goal is less cars on the road, for improvement--no?
I use them all the time, have for years and they are fine. Could only get better.[/quote]

But DC needs more height and density to be able to afford to improve the bus service.  This will create an urbanist virtuous circle.[/quote]

Not after COVID crisis.  Anyway, more development means more affordable housing and more tax revenue for better transit, public schools, social services for marginalized people, etc., plus great  urbanism.  In other words, win-win-win for DC.

DC has a budget surplus, so why?[/quote][/quote]
