  1. You might be close to a park and ride, or some other option for getting into the city.

  2. I’d rather sit on a train for an hour than drive for 20 and find parking. Plan better, and plan to arrive early.

  3. See 2.

  4. This happens so infrequently that it’s one of the reasons I think it’s okay to drive in the city. Remember we’re trying to get to less drivers, not 0. The idiots sitting alone in a car on Columbia Road just to move their body from one place to another are the problem.

  5. You’re a human on a planet with weather. If you’re not ready for that stay inside your A/C. Driving in rain is dangerous too. Ask the NOVA thread.

  6. Plenty of excuses.

Except in this city it is a reality. We have a great metro and bus system that can get you nearly anywhere in town. Yet, people still insist on driving, many recklessly. Plenty of Assholes driving around cars stopped at crosswalks nearly killing my toddler. Whenever I walk down the road I always wonder where these people are driving to/from and why the heck didn’t they just use the subway/bus or walk. I have a car, but only use it to get out of the city. Many I assume are lazy or just scared of the people on the metro. If that’s the case move to the burbs and stay there.

Reply to Mt. Vernon Triangle Is the Best Neighborhood by NoxDust

It’s close to Blagden so that’s cool. But it’s also a neighborhood that’s super close to a metro stop (Mount Vernon), so you can just go visit it. I do for Ghostburger. Every DC neighborhood has groceries. I’m 5 minutes from a Harris Teeter and a Safeway in AdMo.
