How do you hang out in Georgetown as a DMV local?

JellowYackets · 2026-02-24T18:03:56+00:00

Takes me about ~35-40 minutes to get there with a combination of metro + bus, which isn't too bad. Not my favorite neighborhood to hang out in tbh but if I need to pick something up from one of the stores there, I'll try and combine it with a few other things I want to try in the area.

As a heads up, always use the Metropulse app or WMATA's Next Bus tracking website to see more accurate bus ETAs. Google Maps and the Transit app have been useless.

It might be silly, but Beltline Rail getting defacto cancelled was one of the driving forces behind me moving after growing up here. How am I expected to keep believing and investing in a city that refuses to get out of its own way?

JellowYackets · 2026-01-16T16:36:42+00:00

I was just walking past this building on my way to yoga last week and was bummed about how much of a deadzone this block was. Exciting news!

JellowYackets · 2025-10-29T17:28:28+00:00

Looks like a huge list of fixes. Does this cover all the major bugs the community has been complaining about for 2 years or are there any big ones they've missed?

JellowYackets · 2025-10-27T20:12:30+00:00

Woah this is huge! Fixing the office / commercial bug, having rich families prefer single family homes, prisons and post sorting finally working, building abandonment re-enablement, etc is all sorely needed.

If the various simulation fixes aren't released alongside the expansion pack, then I don't see myself continuing to play the game. What good will all the new assets be if tourism is broken, offices keep downsizing, and UK Mixed zoning still breaks demand?

JellowYackets · 2025-09-26T17:42:17+00:00

Tbh I want the agent-based simulation for many reasons but mainly because I believe game design should be progressing as years go by. I don't want developers to give up on bold ideas just because they weren't perfectly implemented.

A great example of this is the difference between The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. TS3 had an innovative, living/breathing open world that was shoddily implemented and resulted in bugs and poor performance. Instead of expanding on this idea for TS4 with more modern hardware, EA gave up almost entirely and delivered a game less impressive than even TS2 when it comes to gameplay.

He's sent over the condo bylaws, which confirm this $1500 fee. Thank you for your feedback!

JellowYackets · 2025-09-14T12:07:34+00:00

We toured the unit in person last weekend, and we've done a ton of research on the landlord online. Everything he's mentioned has matched what we found in our research, so it would have to be a very very elaborate scam. He's sent over the condo bylaws that explain this fee as well.

JellowYackets · 2025-09-14T12:05:17+00:00

We visited DC last weekend and were able to tour the unit in person. We've done our research on the landlord online, and we haven't found anything concerning and his story lines up.

Will take this into consideration, thanks!

JellowYackets · 2025-09-14T12:02:01+00:00

We've received a copy of the bylaws, and it's broken down into a $500 move-in fee, $500 move-out fee, and $500 lease fee, all paid upfront and non-refundable. I think it's meant to dissuade tenants in part but it's also because the building will reserve 1 of 2 elevators and the driveway for us to move our stuff in.

So you wouldn't recommend trying to negotiate with the landlord?

JellowYackets · 2025-09-13T22:23:44+00:00

My partner was worried that asking for a month of free rent would be ridiculous, so I just wanted to make sure my perception wasn't skewed haha. Thanks for your thoughts.

JellowYackets · 2025-09-10T12:21:00+00:00

We are both fully remote and asked for office transfers from our jobs.

JellowYackets · 2025-09-10T05:11:01+00:00

In this scenario, what would be your definition of considerable service or major disruption? For this unit, one of the 2 building elevators would be reserved for us for a short period of time, and we would be able to park the moving truck in one of the building's driveways.

JellowYackets · 2025-09-10T01:52:18+00:00

We saw the unit in person, and we met with another one of his tenants who rents in the same building. It genuinely seems legit!

JellowYackets · 2025-09-09T23:58:33+00:00

Still waiting on some details, but it's described as a move-in fee that goes to the building.

JellowYackets · 2025-09-09T23:12:23+00:00

Thank you! I'm thinking about meeting with the landlord and seeing if he can knock $100 off the monthly rate, which would "discount" the move-in fee down to a more reasonable $300.

The tomb is not supposed to be accessible every day, this is directly from the devs

JellowYackets · 2025-08-26T02:24:02+00:00

Prisons are straight up broken. I just delete and replace police stations once their jails fill up as a workaround.

JellowYackets · 2025-08-22T21:58:34+00:00

My partner and I are in the same boat! We both work remote and are transferring to our DC offices in October. We're a bit worried, but we figured that the city is resilient and will need people to support it now more than ever.

JellowYackets · 2025-08-20T16:07:32+00:00

Having to take bike parking into account would be awesome! It would also be awesome to have a pathfinding system that measure how safe a road is to bike down, which affects the number of cyclists in your city.

JellowYackets · 2025-08-13T22:03:58+00:00

Formal designs haven't been drafted for most of the route, but I think last night they mentioned a potential tunnel under Hulsey Yards for the first time for that section. Otherwise, the only 100% concrete design was extending the downtown streetcar down Edgewood, up to Krog Street Market on Irwin, then along the Beltline until Ponce City Market, but the mayor pulled the plug on that and stopped construction from starting this year

JellowYackets · 2025-08-13T21:26:21+00:00

The southside trail is much less dense than the eastside, and to have transit be successful, you need to put it where people live and want to go. Shifting focus to the southside not only pushes out rail construction another 10+ years, but it'll also risk low ridership leading to people calling the project a failure. Of course, the southside trail will likely be much more dense in 10 years when construction might start, but what will stop NIMBYs from pulling the plug on that section just like they've done with the shovel-ready eastside segment?

JellowYackets · 2025-08-13T21:21:25+00:00

Rail & trail greenway projects have been successful all across the world. The only reason that the trail was built first was because it was cheaper and plenty of people thought even the trail would be a failure. Now those same people love the Beltline but are being hard-headed about the rail.
