DC does manage Circulator buses and CaBi (through contracts), both of which work well.


Good work. Now deal with the rest of OP's list.


Someone already addressed each and every one. Perhaps it would help if you tried reading at the beginning and not skipping to the end of a thread.

Really,? The enrollment numbers for DCPS and their charters are up, not down. On a different note, why do you care so much about the operations of DC. It's obvious you don't live in the city. Why the faux concern?

Yup. And an utter lack of understanding between the relationship between the city and Congress. And an utter lack of understanding of DC's history. And an utter lack of understanding between federal "Washington" and local "DC."




* should read "...understanding OF the relationship...

OP, I guess you have two choices: help, or get out. Complaining doesn't do anything for anybody, including you.

Not every U.S. City is the capitol of the USA.

The pathetic condition of DC over the past 4 decades is a national (and international) disgrace.


It's capital not Capitol

DCPS is so horrendous that President Obama wouldn't dare subject his children to even the very best school DCPS has to offer.

This, I just had to take my can back. That neighbor knows they don't have two new cans.
