[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has had a tough go of it since the pandemic. Some of it is beyond the city's control. Remote work devastated downtown. No did shit about inflation. Trump and DOGE cost a lot of people their jobs. But some of it was the city's fault. I-82 blew up the economics of the restaurant industry, and we're still dealing with the fallout. Crime got really bad. The city tried to make traffic and parking as miserable as possible, and now people don't move around the city like they used to or they go to the suburbs instead. It seems like the city is now trying to paper over with its mistakes by sending restaurants checks. But what is $50,000 going to do? It's not going to save a single restaurant. I'm sure everyone will take the money, because why not, but then they're just do whatever they were going to do anyway. If they were going to close, they will. If they weren't going to close, well thanks for the windfall. [/quote]

The DC government is funded by parking tickets. It's intentional.[/quote]
