I mean, did you expect any different? This city couldn’t find it’s way out of a paper bag, government and residents alike.

I’m tired of the whining by people who sit in front of laptops all day and have no idea how to operate a snowplow or a thing about public works.
Be original: Go criticize heart surgeons or something.
But this is absolute PEAK DCUM.
This is what affluent white female urban liberals do best - criticize others who do jobs they themselves couldn’t do even at gunpoint.
This is their North Star 😆

Still no trash pickup. Mayor gets an F.

Nothing in this city works. We pay an incredible taxes, and for what? They need two weeks to clean up six inches of snow?

Credit where credit is due:
DC did plow our alley today and pick up our trash (it's our regular trash day). We live in Northeast.
Of course, the ice has had two days of melting to loosen up.
And yesterday I saw bobcats out as well. Sadly, they were in the bike lane, but hey, it's something.
I'm so sorry. Whether or not clearing bike lanes during a snow emergency should be a priority has become my new litmus test.
You're unhappy when I'm biking in the one remaining lane, you're unhappy when the bike lanes get cleared so that I can be out of your way, and you're unhappy if I drive because I take up precious parking. Really not sure what it is that you do want.
Take public transportation like a civilized person.
Sure, after the lazy ass who drives everywhere for their own convenience does. We can leave driving for elderly and those with disabilities. Think about how much better we can make the metro/bus network with so many more people using it!
Yes yes yes, F cars, Ave Caesar, etc etc
We're not talking about futurist fantasies here. We're talking about what to do in the immediate aftermath of a snow emergency.
Oh that's easy. Get your stupid car off the side of the road, go park in a garage or somewhere so we can get the roads cleared.
Brilliant! You are a very stable genius.

Let’s not leave driving to the elderly…let’s leave driving to the young Uber drivers who drive the elderly (or the Waymo with no driver).
Better yet let's make public transportation awesome even for those who are disabled.
And before the over privileged jerk with "bone spurs" starts whining, there are already plenty of disabled people who use buses and metro.

I don't care what you do. It isn't about you. Getting back to normal from a snow emergency requires prioritizing resources and effort.
That is so precious coming from you. Have you seen what people driving/parking looks like it there? How do you expect the city to clear the snow with behavior like that?
It's not bikes getting in the way...
