I lived in an apartment at 4550 Conn NW for years. Every year I got a notice of rent increase based on the annual CPI. The CPI is high at the moment. 8.5 % I think. I lived in a rent- controlled building but annual increase based on CPI is in your contract for sure. Legal.

Unhoused? Some call them campers. In DC they are well fed.

SCOTUS leak?

But when it does oh man is it great. Quiet. Love walking down to Rock Creek Park. But within 24 hrs. Major roads such as Conn Ave are clear.

I heard coyotes last time I walked in Rock Creek Park. Wonderful but the deer will invade your backyard garden so take precautions.

Go ask DH Lawrence.

I was born in DC in 1951. Moved to VA beach in 1959. Years later returned to work. Having lived in Europe many years, I loved the diverse culture. DC is a small space. But Annapolis and Eastern Shore are close. Mountains along Blue Ridge Parkway are close. Day to day you cope with living in a Federal city. President motorcades that block traffic. The bike paths are poorly engineered. My son was cut off in a bike path and fractured both elbows. You will need to live in an apartment unless you've got a million to spend on a home. Busses and taxis and Uber/Lyft are great but expensive. But a car is kind of useless. Any other questions?

I thought Rocky Mountain oysters were bull's balls.
