Walkable cities, academia, and hot parenting takes with statistics, mostly in NW DC/Ward 2+3. Occasionally in real urban centers like Bethesda or Arlington.
Always look at major injuries, not just deaths. (left-YTD2025) (right-YTD2024). Pedestrian and cyclist injuries are up in DC. Drivers/passengers are down.

Why are there so many faregate jumpers at the airports on WMATA? Or is this the artifact of luggage getting stuck in the gate? Like I just don't believe that 1/10 pax at Dulles are jumping the gate; which is more that double the system average.

Its funny, outside of the DC metro gov, federal workers are mostly in very red rural areas. Broadly speaking feds are in rural areas and/or near military bases (keep in mind 1/3 of feds are ex-military).

TIL: my wife’s rear ebike wheel assembly weighs more than my entire road bike does. Also, it apparently requires cutting a zip tie to remove from the bike.

I learned from @51st.news that DC had a MASSIVE lead water crisis from 2001-2005 that nobody seems to be aware of. Does this show up in crime stats, health stats, or education stats in DC? DC's young adults may be really messed up.
