remove subsidies from metro, let prices be what they may be to fully fund it year over year


As soon as you pay a mileage tax for using city streets and pay market rate for street parking.

How many human lives can a bicyclist snuff on in a heartbeat compared to the driver of four ton murder machine? I'll take your call off the air.

Lol, all the crying and whining about public MJ smoking. Stop your temper tantrum already. Find something productive to do with your energy than stomping your feet and throwing a fit.

Stop turning a blind eye when middle school kids are smoking pot in public. I can’t imagine the long-term damage we are allowing by being so tolerant.

This is a good list too. And get cleaning in an OCD way, like singapore.


This^. Just fine people who litter.


That's not EQUITABLE and you're punishing people for victimless crimes!


Give them community service duties if they can't pay fine.


Bad optics to force POC to pick up trash. I can just see the protests. Sorry but we are stuck.

Sigh. So much hate and bigotry in your post!

No one is a so-called “criminal” if they are under age 26. These are children!

And whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Whatever happened to second chances?


I'm sorry but 21* aren't children. They need to be in school and do study, sports, volunteer or part time work to not have free time for crime and drugs.


You're an idiot if you don't know she was sarcastic.
The benefit pipeline means people don't want to work at any sort of job. Explain how all these people are eating without performing any sort of labor.

I love DC and live in it. I think that if many parents would lose their housing benefits or government subsidies if they can't control their children, it would be very effective.


Tying benefits to responsibilities would help parents, children and society in long term.

1. Outlaw vaping and smoking outside or in public spaces. All smoking - but especially weed. My kids associate weed smell with DC the way NYC smells like trash and piss.

2. Deal with the rats

3. House the homeless and deal with begging and pan handing in tourist areas

Crime, crime, and more crime. I don’t know how we actually get enough police officers for a full force, but it needs to be done. And they actually need to patrol.



This^. A visible police presence would immediately eradicate opportunistic criminals.
