Welcome to DC! Lots of fun neighborhoods. Anywhere in NW DC between 12th street and DuPont circle is great (14th street area has lots of restaurants and bars). Other fun areas are Adam’s Morgan and Shaw. Cheaper rent and more group houses the more north you go, like up into Columbia heights. Happy to chat and give more advice, send me a DM

I would avoid living downtown, by navy yard or the wharf.

I’m moving to Dc this Fall. Can I ask why not the Navy yard or wharf ( which I assume is southwest waterfront)?

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics
