There is a COLA for DC. My spouse is GS 9 (I think) and DC has a pretty good adjustment.
And it is totally possible to live here while making 50K. Yes, you will need housemates/flatmates, but not "roommates." I was making $14/hour and doing fine with housemates when I moved here.
Just look for a group house for the best bargain. Maybe near American University, Howard University, or Catholic University where other people will be looking to share (not just undergrads, but grad students as well).

New form of clickbait? Write a really obtuse headline so people have to click through to understand what was actually meant.
I thought it was a father out for a stroll with his kids and then he decided to shoot someone.

But why would people dream of a metro station there? I could see it more so in Georgetown (as mentioned) or up by the AU campus. But at Cathedral and Idaho? There are condos there that actually have parking spaces.

Well, you can forget about a Nigerian bar this world cup... Although, the Suya at Bukom Cafe is delicious and I bet they will be showing games. Curious if they will be rooting for any of the other West African teams.

You would think so since they were using slurs.

Reply to Visiting DC from Pakistan by JadeSinnParach
What is your food budget? DC and Maryland are big on seafood, and in particular, crabs. 2 places that I would recommend in particular are:
BlackSalt (202) 342-9101 https://maps.app.goo.gl/REHWNp1VSpKcQMsH8
Ivy City Smokehouse (202) 529-3300 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hwWtAbvLvcVH4i3E9
I understand your desire to try the stereotypical places that you mentioned, but for the same price, you can get some significantly better food.
If you would like some good cheap mexican food, try Bandit Taco (202) 609-8127 https://maps.app.goo.gl/QnHSKd485WZdZc5N7 (they also have a place off Wisconsin Ave in Tenleytown).
For Pizza, another good option is Pete's New Haven Style Pizza (202) 237-7383 https://maps.app.goo.gl/3sYATjtfP9JTH8JJA

Afraid I don't know the answer to that. I just know that there are DC specific rates for the GS scale: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2023/DCB.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwic6oXMzPn8AhX6OUQIHeFBAaMQFnoECCYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1qx1ycl_i2wwzW_gIXrV59
That PDF has the 2023 rates for the DMV region.
