Unrelated, but does anyone know why DC has so many manholes? It seems like one per address in parts, vs the one or two per block I've seen in other cities.

Might be for utility line access. DC’s electric distribution lines are underground instead of on poles.

Ah thank you to you both for the explanations :). Indeed the other place I lived had abundant utility poles.
