A brilliant opening line for the brief opposing the government’s motion to seize assets to satisfy the judgment.

I’m interested in how we’re going to handle the dude who has dozens of tickets spread over four different license plates (and presumably cars?). If you can afford four cars, you can pay your $20K+ in fines!!

Soon he’ll be asking us to watch what we say to preserve the First Amendment.

Yeah I wasn’t intending to argue. I’ve had a lot of folks reach out today to express different forms of alarm—which I get—so I’m probably responding to that as much as anything you said!

Not your original post—the follow up concern about preparation.

I won’t say much more. The ranks of District government are filled with smart, dedicated folks who also live here, are thinking daily about how best to prepare and respond to all sorts of circumstances, and understand the importance of this moment.

I understand the hunger for reassurance that folks are preparing for those kinds of threats. But there are good reasons not to talk loudly about that work—in no small part because it could reveal where we think we are more or less vulnerable.

Yes, but we have to treat the law as law until we lose it. I worry about reinforcing the message that the laws don’t matter. Plus, as you know more than most, not all legal claims have the same path to a judicial resolution.

We'd also love to see you next Tuesday at our Ward 5 budget forum! RSVP here (and yes, there is a virtual option!) us12.list-manage.com/survey?u=0cd...

I assume part of the context is that MLS is likely to align with other soccer league schedules in the next few years. Hard to play through the winter without a roof. (Not saying DC should pay for it, though!)

Think I found it -- 77 Bryant street NW?

Can you provide a location for this alley? Screen shot of a pin on a map or addresses adjacent to the alley would be helpful.

I suspect this is already on DOB's radar, but I will check with our team.

Why does the link text say “filed charges?” Completely inaccurate.

That's of course on top of sustained housing production from 2011 to 2019 at the rate of about 4,500units/year. Again, much of this has been urban infill.

We've added 41,000 housing units since 2019, much of them in Waterfront, Navy Yard, NoMA, Central/H Street neighborhoods. Owning a car in those neighborhoods really is optional. open.dc.gov/36000by2025/

Healthy skepticism is warranted; however, DC has added tens of thousands of units of infill development housing units in extremely walkable neighborhoods. We know from other data sources that micromobility has really taken off post pandemic. I doubt much of delta is fake/out of state tags.

Compared to 2008, the District has 21% more residents and 1.6% more vehicle registrations. If recent trends continue in FY 2025, DC will have fewer vehicle registrations than we did in 2008 despite adding ~125,000 residents.

Desperately needed. Drivers have started to do U turns across the bike lanes over the last few days.

Florida appears to be below average in marriage rates. That’s fun.

Quite the coup.
