Ok, well less parking means fewer customers for restaurants. We’ve found ourselves increasingly going over the border to the suburbs because it’s less hassle. Not good for anyone who runs a business in DC[/quote]

That’s because you live in Upper Caucasia, the part of DC that really isn’t even a city.  [/quote]

Uh, huh. Says the guy who just moved here from Indiana [/quote]

This. Being smug about living in Logan circle is a specific look.

Yes, I do live in VA. But im from here and mostly metro for DC stuff. I take public transportation, walk, bike to work often and prefer it. Sometimes i do need to drive though. Especially if it’s a time we have to get a sitter. Not finding parking within a few blocks does impact dining choice at times.

If you ate going places where you are at risk for not finding a parking spot within a  few blocks, that means you are going places like the Wharf, Navy Yard, Dupont, 14th Street - in other words high density, high vibrancy areas where parking has been at a premium with or without streeteries. If you are going places like Chevy Chase, DC or Cleveland Park, parking is still pretty easy and streetaries are not really impacting it at all.

And when you say "not finding parking" do you mean relatively free street parking or paid parking in a garage? Because in the high density areas, you are more likely to need to pay for parking anyhow. So using an Uber is likely more time and cost effective than trying to drive and park.[/quote]

If I can't find parking within the four spots directly in front of the door of an establishment, I'm not going to eat there!!![/quote]

Have a nice dinner at Applebees![/quote]

There are no Applebees within 15 miles of DC.  Once again you have shown a complete lack of knowledge or understanding of the DMV.  Go back to whatever godforsaken town you are from and make that place better.[/quote]

Ok, I’ll just go do that! Kisses from Brooklyn![/quote]
