What kind of bumper to bumper traffic would there be with cheap parking? That’s the least of it. People need to actually learn how to drive properly. I swear it seems like drivers around DC metro found their drivers license in a cereal box rather than actually take a drivers Ed class.

The signals have to be timed, DC Police and suburban police have to start ticketing aggressively all the drivers who block the intersection just so they can “make the light” yet block the box with their cars so that now the cross traffic that has the green light is blocked. This creates an immense web of traffic out to the beltway, yet nothing is done to diminish it.

Why do people make posts like this when the data is publicly available. 4 out of 5 days last week less people took Metrorail than in 2021.

I notice that a lot of this cyclist, anti-car stuff is frequently either anecdote over data or misuse/misunderstanding of induced demand.

Many in DC don't even own cars. Some of my co-workers gave up their cars when the moved to DC. Some like me still have cars but only use them on the weekend for outings. My car is paid off, low mileage and in good condition, might last me 10 years. But I often consider getting rid of it altogether.

I think the point is that DC's transportation policy remains very much focused on providing convenience to personal car owners. The city allows drivers to park on the street for dirt cheap, blow through red lights and generally drive as fast and dangerously as they want, and is slow to improve non-driving transportation options. MPD wantonly sits in the bus lane at 14 and Irving NW while they play on their phones. Incredibly insulting.

40% of people living in the District is a huge number, I thought it would be less. And of course we get shit on instead of rewarded. I always laugh when drivers complain about how they aren't catered to enough. The most entitled people in the world.

1. You have no idea where that person lives but it’s awesome that you’re providing to be presumptuous and arrogantly authoritative. That’s always a hallmark of high intelligence.

2. It’s awesome that you’ve paid your car off and barely use it. Again, it’s fascinating that you are so presumptuous to believe and command that everyone should be like you and the small handful of people you know at work.

A little humility would make this world a much better place.

"DC is car-centric" - LMAO. Census ACS studies have shown that around 40% of DC households don't have cars. And the number of DC households without cars has been increasing and will continue to increase with bike shares, ride shares and other options. DC is not at all as car-centric as the DMV burbs are, but I can see how someone from the burbs would make that mistake.

There is about 1 registered vehicle for every adult between 18-65.

Totally false. There are around 548k adults over 18 years in Washington DC. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/DC

There are only 298k vehicle registrations in DC. https://dmv.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dmv/page_content/attachments/Historical%20Registration%20Data%20FY2010-FY2021.pdf

That's only 0.54 of a car for every adult in DC.

Stop posting fake info to try and justify you dangerously speeding through residential DC neighborhoods like the maniac that you are.

Now check how many people are over 65, subtract and you will be getting close to having an elementary level of reading comprehension.
