[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope that everyone who wants DC to be able to handle this like it's no big deal are willing to pay higher taxes to afford that. It really was/is a difficult snow/ice combo and the low temperatures aren't helping.[/quote]

It's funny that DC has money for special machines that clean bike lanes (which cost $250,000 each) but doesn't have plows to plow neighborhood streets. I'd say the problem here isn't money, it's priorities.

Poor drivers. Won't someone [i]finally [/i]think of the drivers for once?[/quote]

Uh, what? You think it's a good thing that the city buys lots of special machines to make sure bike lanes don't get dirty but doesn't have plows to clear neighborhood streets? One of these things affects a couple hundred people in a way that's not terribly consequential and the other affects several hundred thousand people in a way that is extremely consequential.
