Yeah you drive in DC to go through DC. I drive more in DC not living there than I ever did when I did.

If you’re trying to go anywhere north east of Virginia you kinda have to.

Reply to comment by HereComesHR in Recent DC Trip by HereComesHR
I’m originally from Texas and the mass transit is so much better than sitting in traffic for long periods of time, but if you live further away from a metro stop and have to walk or bus to metro it’s kind of a grind: the COL up here is crazy and unless your from Austin or DFW proper you won’t know how it is. Just know if you plan on moving up here it’s a major culture shock, and you should definitely have a job and a place to live before doing it.
Much love from a former Texan.

They don’t drink, that’s usually a nice chunk when eating out.

Rent control is not detrimental to builders, only to owners of the buildings who can continue to control high rent with inferior products. If their building is going to go into disrepair or the amenities are inferior they don’t deserve to be part of the current market. I know with current rent control, rent prices can rise higher than the current inflationary raises through capital investments and that should continue.

If you recently graduated apply for pathways program jobs, if not get your year of experience and start applying for better jobs. If I could recommend something, look for someone who specializes in writing degrees for federal jobs and pay to have your resume made, that will help you a lot.

Just to let you know that’s a very irregular ladder, I was a 5 in DC five years ago and it was rough. Just be prepared to not be able to afford much, but if you can transition to a different ladder and series after your first year shoot for something that at least leads to a 12.

No, once production picks up they will be more affordable. I think the opposite will happen.

Lol there’s literally a highway that goes through the city. I live in Nova not Richmond, get over yourself. I paid DC taxes for 10 years, so I think I can use the roads.
