I read that as “my uncle would try to write while driving,” and it still seemed to work.

DC zoning allows new row houses in most districts by-right, but you are correct that the lack of open land is a problem. The other issue is that huge swaths of our existing row house stock is under historic district restrictions, which makes demo and rebuild prohibitively expensive if not impossible.

Even if a driver in one lane stops for me, I still wait for the inevitable impatient jackov that tries to go around them at speed.

Bollards would presumably just be there to allow scheduled deliveries to get through but otherwise no other drivers would be allowed.

I don’t know about subs, but they have the best approximation of a proper Italian grinder I’ve had here.

I’ve had issues with incorrect orders or slow service but never with noise from the staff. I wonder if they’re having issues.

I think you’re underestimating how much people associate RI government with corruption. At the moment, the state is not much worse than most states (and considerable better than some) but even within my own lifetime that wasn’t the case. RI was one of the biggest pay-to-play states in the whole country at least through the 90’s. “Plunderdome” helped root out a lot of it but once trust is lost on that level it takes a very, very long time to regain.

No guilt necessary. My mom is a multigenerational RI native, but I was born in California so I never got her undying love for the Dunk.

I started elementary school in RI in 1985 and it was a thing then. Like people said above, there were a handful of very gruesome, very sad cases that were enough to justify it.
