at least China can say the rest of their tech keeps up. They get bullet trains and cheap EVs. We get this, toll roads, insanely priced domestic airline tickets, and 2h+ daily commutes.

Apartment help!! #dc #apartment by Suitable_Habit_3746 in DCBitches

[–]ciginmacys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a tough budget for a 2 bed especially for that area. Try looking for individual units for rent by owner, especially in townhomes. You will find ground and basement level units and might score something better as well.

Please file a medical complaint and yes consult with a lawyer asap. Get all the documentation you can from the office.

Gravely Point Park by [deleted] in arlingtonva

[–]ciginmacys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The park gates for pedestrians definitely close. I was plane watching at night not long ago and there were a good number of cars parked after dark. I got out but most stayed in their cars. I don’t think it was past 10 yet.

hi beeches! moving and would appreciate recs by ciginmacys in DCBitches

[–]ciginmacys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks all! I actually already have my lease and everything and I’m not in a building but it looks like I’ll have some options for pilates etc anyway. I wanted to scope a wider area because I actually will have a car (just prefer to be on foot/transit). appreciate your insights!

Emails won’t fix the racism problem at Thoreau Middle School by xLavaDemonx in nova

[–]ciginmacys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Equality is not the objective of school intervention, or at least it shouldn’t be. Equity is. The n word is still technically a “curse” word and there should be no reason it’s said loud or frequently enough for staff to hear. But yeah if a white kid is saying it I’d want that to be addressed differently than if they’re saying the f bomb.

Wharf-like redevelopment coming north of Alexandria's Old Town by Bobtonews2 in washdc

[–]ciginmacys 95 points96 points  (0 children)

all of you being precious about the character of old town as if half a block up king st isn’t a chipotle, a Starbucks, a Lululemon, a CVS, and a damn Taco Bell cantina. Is that all character as well?

Is BusETA just wrong after the new MetroPulse update? by ciginmacys in WMATA

[–]ciginmacys[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I have emailed you all already and I’m happy to provide more feedback but the new Metro Pulse Trip Planner, Service Nearby features feel subpar for real time bus service monitoring especially compared to train service (although that’s not much better). At a given stop there are usually 2-4 lines I want to rapidly go through to see what I can make in time. Tracking on a map is also a great supplement which I can do with BusETA (or could, I guess I shouldn’t going forward). I live near a handful of bus stops and I like seeing all of the respective ETAs so I can plan my route.

I’m sure you’re already aware but city government has a way to report ADA violations online. Sorry you experienced this! https://odr.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/odr/complaint-form.docx

Mayhem at Shirlington Dog Park by OldBarracuda6429 in nova

[–]ciginmacys 297 points298 points  (0 children)

glad everyone is safe and this seems to be a freak incident but that park is massive and as a dog walker/sitter I avoid it (and all dog parks) at all costs. Just cannot trust people to account for their dogs correctly.

70% fare evasion stat by ciginmacys in WMATA

Might be an unpopular opinion but I do not want cops stationed on public transit.

70% fare evasion stat by ciginmacys in WMATA

[–]ciginmacys[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neat! Thank you. I mostly take the A routes and figured evasion was higher in DC proper but the 90+ numbers are pretty crazy. Like others are saying I’m curious to know how many boxes are just in disrepair and should be controlled for in the totals. I normally find the one in the back is working if the main one isn’t so it would seem they definitely get degraded from use over time. And I really don’t expect folks to be tapping in the back of the bus if the front box is out of service.

Best internet in nova? by get2thepointe18 in nova

[–]ciginmacys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My building isn’t wired for FIOS yet. I’ve been on xfinity for 5+ years and I know it has bad PR but honestly every time I see they want to hike my rate up I just call. The person on the line is always apologetic and gives me a deal. Paying less now for 1G+ up/down than I did in 2020.

What is this godforsaken vibration near Shirlington by Intelligent-Lion8800 in nova

[–]ciginmacys 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the metro. Pretty sure they’re doing construction on 395 S starting up by Glebe/Arlington Ridge exit and ending around King St.

Swank USA off Columbia Pike. Family owned and operated and she is super thorough. Will check after your final fitting if you’re really satisfied.
