[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Downtown is dead but go into ay DC neighborhood like Shaw, Petworth, Columbia Heights and you'll see restaurants and bars thriving. But they still need help. That's what this grant is trying to do. Not help the big investors but the small business owner who employs her neighbors. $50k is a drop int he bucket to the corporate handouts that are given but everyone is up in arms. And that $50k investment gets spent in the community, employing people, buying from other local businesses, paying taxes[/quote]

What an incredible waste of tax dollars. People don't go out to eat because it's expensive as fkuc and there's nowhere to park.[/quote]

You don't live in the city or you wouldn't be worrying about parking.  So it's not your tax dollars and not your concern.  As an actual DC resident, restaurants are our neighbors and our arteries and I don't consider helping our our neighbors to be a waste of money.[/quote]

This has to be the absolute dumbest comment yet.[/quote]

Why?  It's true.  We live in DC and don't know a single DC resident who drives to a DC restaurant.  Not a single one.  Like, ever.

You don't live in the city and your opinion on how our tax dollars are spent is irrelevant.  Worry about Maryland or Virginia.  [/quote]

I live in the city you moron.  Either you live in an insanely tiny bubble, never leave your neighborhood, are lying, or all three.  Regardless, you have absolutely no integrity or credibility.[/quote]

No, you don't.  Or if you do, you're not driving to restaurants and worrying about paying to park.  Your post is bullshit.  [/quote]

Not the person you are responding to, but you are a bottom of the barrel level idiot. I live in one of the most walkable locations in DC (Logan circle / Shaw near the convention center), and I regularly drive to restraints as do plenty of neighbors. Say, if I’m craving Neapolitan pizza and want 2 Amy’s do you think I’m metro’ing and then bussing or just getting in my tiny compact car and taking a nice drive?

Also I’ve probably lived in DC longer than you, considering I’ve lived in DC my entire life with the exception of college in Virginia plus 3 years of work post college. Again, you’re a dumb person. [/quote]
