No, but remember, the last election was a referendum on "Developers vs. 'Those Left Behind'". No more economic development until every DC resident is fully caught up....

A Blue Ribbon Panel? Already he's reneging on his promise to appoint a "Blue Ribbon Commission". We're all downsizing in this economy, I guess....

I say pave over the tracks until such time that we have the money to operate those cars. Why not just rip them up and melt them down into ingots. That way we could store them more easily....

It seems it's often sort of 'stuff white people like' or 'ready-made gentrification' rather than 'stuff the people who live there would really benefit from.' I'm always surprised when folks still us...

45 here. The reason I stay here is because the emphasis on "walkable, liveable communities". If the "cars first" crowd had their way, there'd be absolutely no reason for me not to move to Rockville,...

I can't speak for Alpert, obviously, or to your first two points, because I really haven't seen any evidence to support those assertions. But I would take issue with your third point. I don't think ...

Simple. If the boy had been in a car none of this would have ever happened. People who walk, or God forbid, ride a bicycle deserve whatever they get....

Should've used the end-credits theme for the beloved sitcom "Taxi". Really get's your blood pumping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDj2-tgAauw...

That's all well and good, but you need to keep the WalMarts out of cities like NYC, DC, and SF. After all, once folks achieve Step 8 of your progression, they'll need a place to move to to escape the...

Jesus Christ, how depressing. I don't drive to the burbs very often, but...is it *all* like that?...

Thought this was interesting. I just rec'd an email from R&R Hotel advertising a DC9 night: "DC9 was closed on Friday October 15, 2010 following a rush to judgement, a spam of misinformation, media ...

Weird. These are the politician's private cars, right? So why not just key them or rack the side view mirror with your U-lock as you go by? No change in law needed....
