Reply to comment by johnbrownbody in Opinion | D.C. is turning its beautiful streets into bar-code lookalikes by DCmetrosexual1

Yeah but not with ugly tents that all they do is sell expensive alcohol. If you going to go the “oh the people have the right to reclaim the streets” then this is not the way to turn it into a money cow for alcohol and Vice.

Alcohol and vice? Is someone in the middle of their Rumpspringa and it's not going well?

Lots of businesses and cafes have streeteries.

It's a cash cow for the city and for small businesses, and it's great for people to enjoy spending time outside in the open air.

We should definitely also reclaim parking spots with more bike lanes, enforced bus lanes, and green spaces, but to claim that "all they do is sell expensive alcohol... and vice" is ridiculous and factually incorrect.
