Reply to comment by madmoneymcgee in As a driver, New Jersey Ave NW has absolutely convinced me that protected bike lanes are the right decision. by sloowhand
This is because of the "don't spend money on anything that doesn't benefit me" mindset. I would argue that after commuting to DC for decades, we'd all be safer if everyone slowed down a bit. One accident, police car, etc can really upset the apple cart. Just today there was a construction project on N Capital where they closed lanes on each part of the intersection. Buses stopping in the remaining single lane, equipment blocking parts, etc. The workers don't care that it took over 30 mins to traverse that single block. Moving the bikes into their space and keeping them safe reduces incidents and the same complainers won't like them taking a lane in the roadway, despite the fact that they can probably ride 25MPH.

Reply to Mandatory Tip for Take-Out? by DCcatdad09
Pretty simple, that pizza would have sat on the counter. I would have refused to accept. If they provide service above and beyond, I'll tip. If they just do the ordinary, I'm not going to! It's not like their prices are cheap. $19 for a cheese pizza is just as likely to get my business as $24 so they'd do better to just price it up front.
Too many choices, especially for good pizza in the district to accept that.
