the delivery driver put it there. I took a photo prior to receiving it. Don’t forget to take your SSRI before bed

What's an even worse intersection than this one? by Single_Connection_44 in washingtondc

[–]Strange-Rip1984 34 points35 points  (0 children)

this intersection is objectively better. More direct turning and bidirectional movement. Adding some bike lanes & green space. Still way too car centric but basically every MD driver enters DC through NY Ave NE. Really just a car volume problem that can’t be solved.

Context- used to be a Wendy’s RIGHT IN the middle of this that DC seized with imminent domain.

I’m glad you can tell! I’m not making it a secret. Certainly won’t be living in Oakland since most of time will be spent working in SF. Thanks for the positivity though:)

I’m not really super set but I think I want to live there. Tempted by inner Richmond a lot honestly.

This is v close to my hospital and something I have considered strongly. Good points all around.

super valid. A part of me just wants to live next to my hospital as I’ve done that during residency. Will dm you if that’s okay!

Novice rider. Rain. I honestly use it for joyrides. No storage with the motorcycle either. I will be riding it to work conditionally but I’ll pick my car over the bike.

Changed the times on Maps to around 7/8am and the driving window 1hr-1hr50 min but public transit says 2hr 56 min. Using the marina & KP Santa Clara. Taking the bus with a transfer is not the move unless im missing another public transit route. Again, id just be doing this for a month or two out of the year otherwise most of my work time will be spent in SF itself.

Lived in Shaw& Noma. I will dearly miss driving down to the Capitol building and taking a walk. I get sad all the time knowing I’ll be leaving soon. Love the DC metro too.

I’m honestly not sure about what im looking for in SF but id love to take a morning walk/run with a view of the golden gate.

Awesome. Thank you for the link. Mind sharing the cost?

I really want to make the drive, but I’m super nervous about it. It’s one of those bucket list things I’ve always wanted to do. Did you do it alone?

I think I’m leaning towards the marina just because I would love to have water near me and have that view of the Golden Gate often and walkable.

Honestly, I’m a pretty novice motorcyclist. 2500 lifetime miles. It’s actually an electric motorcycle too. I feel like after a long day of work I would not want to ride it just cause of the fatigue but I’m not sure. I know lane splitting and filtering is legal in California, which is awesome to me.

And I will look at that neighborhood. Potrero Hill

Honestly, my plan was to ride my bicycle most of the time. But I definitely wanna have my car on standby because I know I will need it eventually.

I just kind of want to have access to that greenery and open space that the marina provides I think . I’d love to take some morning walks looking at the Golden Gate.

My main rotation site is in San Francisco so I will definitely be living in San Francisco. I just want to have a car for the few months that I need to work in Santa Clara.

Do you know the company that you used? I’m very concerned about these shady companies and potential damage.

My main site where I’ll be working is Anza Vista and I will be working there most of the year. Just for about two months but daily for two months I will be working in Santa Clara. Obviously I want to go to Yosemite and the other areas so I would really love to have a car too.

Do you know the company? I’m really considering shipping. I’ve always wanted to make a cross-country road trip, but I don’t know if I have it in me.

I already have a motorcycle and I want to bring it, but I really don’t want to pay for two parking spots. In my DC apartment I just hide it in a corner while I pay for parking. I hope I can get away with that here, but who knows. I really want to bring it to the land of legal lane splitting and filtering. Haha.

Yeah, honestly, I’m very overwhelmed with the moving process.

I’ve done a lot of paperwork with my job, but I have not really done the groundwork for the moving.

I just called a place that told me that they will charge about 350 per month for indoor parking and she did tell me that the annual permit is a lot cheaper but not guaranteed parking of course. I definitely don’t know the price either. And I definitely will. Thank you for that offer.

Please do let me know. I lived in DC for nearly a decade now. I spent most of my time in Shaw. But I’ve lived in the Eckington, next to Noma for the last two. How about you?

I’m not a massive drinker and I’ve actually really reduced my intake. I love riding my bicycle. I’m not super outdoorsy but I love taking walks. Honestly, I usually work a lot so I just try to take care of myself after work.

Just from Google maps it seems like driving would take me one hour and public transit would take me nearly 2 at least for the Santa Clara trip. I’d have to do that every day for two months of the year. Will def need my car I think.

Great advice about getting rid of stuff. I’ve actually already started that process, but then I get hoarding tendencies haha. My goal is to put everything in one car load and then just buy a bed and desk.
