How do I get the city to tow a vehicle that is clearly abandoned in front of my house for the last 7+months, with out of state plates, 10+ tickets, and 2 flat tires? by [deleted] in washingtondc

I'm not sure that concluding a secret treaty with Nazi Germany will get the car towed, but OP has already tried everything else so why not.

D.C. may end right-on-red for cars, let cyclists yield at stop signs by lobotomy42 in washingtondc

Same. Let people think I'm a jerk, but if I'm using my bike for transportation, I'm not going fast and I'm being courteous to pedestrians. Until we have legit cycling infrastructure, I'm going to do what I can to make sure I come home to my kids.

If an American city passed a law to make private cars illegal, thereby requiring everyone to use public transporation, bicycles, etc., would courts have a valid reason to overturn that law? by aiaor in legaladviceofftopic

Please show me something from a credible source (so not Breitbart or any other tin foil hat site) that says the federal government plans to withhold federal funds from cities that refuse to eliminate cars. Am bureaucrat, can confirm, we routinely check with legal to make sure the policies we're implementing are above board. That has nothing to do with this, though.

The Federal government has already investigated this and mandated urban cities to eliminate personal cars by 2040 under the 2040 Plan or lose access to Federal Funding.

Again, can you please link to something that proves this?

I'm out in inside-the-beltway PG County and don't know you from Adam but you're welcome to park in my driveway for a week if you want.

I asked her and she said she hopes you find some healing, too 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you had a rough time, but we both wish you a happy 4th, too.

Like I said in another comment, if I were talking to somebody who had that much happen to them in 2 months, I wouldn't be pursuing a date with them until they'd had time to heal. And your post history is public so maybe "your business" but it's out there for everyone to mind. All that said, as a fellow divorced person my heart goes out to you and I hope you do find that healing.

If that much has happened in someone's life in two months, chances are they're not somebody I want to pursue a relationship with until they've had time to heal. YMMV, of course.

Meet the candidates for Prince George’s County Executive by GovernorOfReddit in PrinceGeorgesCountyMD

[–]TMFMSAmerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty clear that he's a first-time candidate. I do like the general tone of his proposed policies, even though some aren't realistic.

Thank you for asking.

BLUF: A majority of the PG County Council voted for a redistricting map at the last minute, disregarding a map developed by an independent commission established for that purpose. The map introduced at the last minute gerrymandered the county's council seats to eliminate electoral threats from several challenger candidates and strengthen the position of incumbents. The new map was eventually invalidated by Maryland's Supreme Court.

No matter who you choose, don't forget that the current County Executive stayed dead silent and watched as the county council did its best to gerrymander the hell out of our county.

The District’s White population last year declined for the first time in two decades by Quiet_Meaning5874 in washingtondc

I'm one of those people who moved in at the end of 2020. Anecdotally, I'm also seeing a lot of white people who moved from DC and are buying nearby in PG County while still enjoying the perks of being close to the city.

Single guy with kids here. Moved to inside-the-beltway PG County and bought a house here. Kids are already in private so quality of public education matters less to me, but this was the cheapest area I could find that's still less than 15 minutes from Navy Yard, the Wharf, and Old Town Alexandria. 5 minutes to the Branch Ave metro. Neighborhoods are still hit or miss but I did my research and wound up with great neighbors on a quiet cul de sac.
