Thank you. That bothered me, too. I think maybe she was just trying to make a point about the differences between the schools, but it came across as if the author thinks this should be used as a metri...

I'm not sure why this would be unconstitutional - plenty of cities levy wage taxes to help pay for city services used by commuters. In Philadelphia, for instance, there is plenty of debate over the wa...

Streetsblog has a pretty cool time lapse video showing the pedestrian scramble in action in Toronto. It looks like they also allow pedestrians to cross with traffic (as in the DC plan). My cabbie m...

The whole point of putting time limits on meters is to encourage turnover. This is why, for instance, near my office in Clarendon you can find meters with 1,2,4 and 8 hours limits. The 8-hour meters a...

Such a happy photo! Love it!...

As a green-eyed redhead, I suppose I should be flattered. We don't get nearly as much love as the blondes. But sir, you are kind of creeping me out. Or is this a running joke that I missed the origin ...

Now THAT would be awesome....

Well as you know, There's No One as Irish as Barack O'Bama....

That seems like a massive pain. Is moving your car every 2 hours somehow easier than registering your car in DC, so you can leave it parked for as long as you like? Well, until street cleaning resumes...

I'm no lawyer, either, but I can tell you what I picked up from the land use law class I took in grad school (I know, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing): the Constitution only grants the federal...

Why do people feel the need to add detail that actually detracts from the overheard. Cases in point: no need to tell us the staffers' jaws dropped in disbelief. You're already past the punchline. Also...

And what about population density? Number of people above a certain income level within, say, 15 mins (walk/drive/transit)? Plus throw in all those office workers who can shop on their lunch hours/aft...

Actually, West Elm and Pottery Barn are part of the same company. Basically, West Elm is to Pottery Barn as CB2 is to Crate and Barrel. I think you can actually see this in the aesthetic - West Elm co...

That's too bad - I've always enjoyed a wander around their showroom. Although to be fair, I've actually bought very little there. Strangely for a store aimed at the young, urban market, much of their ...

Right. Because Metro did SUCH a fantastic job of handling the storm. Totally reasonable to still be single-tracking almost 48 hours after the snow stopped falling....
