Today we continue a new feature highlighting our favorite reader comments. Thanks guys, and keep ’em coming! This week: lots of griping about the government and skepticism toward all manner of development. Also, panda porn fluffers and public urination. DCist is one classy joint!

I love this town, but it’s really sad that there is so little sense of community here. Everytime a unique place is “found” by the general public it winds up getting replaced by a suburban-strip-mall in disguise. I’m fully a capitalist but there must be a better way to balance the economic interests of the city and its developers and the unique nature of our neighborhoods. Doesn’t anyone with any money or power value these cultural icons enough to help them survive?
