Oh my God. Can you explain a bit more what you’re really getting at? I think I’m understanding and it’s quite concerning.

Ice expands + chronic underinvestment in water mains

Even the urinals are having issues these days. Crazy.

What “plumbing issues” are you talking about? We have a few busted water mains every year when it gets cold. The infrastructure of the city is old and wears out. It wouldn’t be possible to replace it all in one project, so we fix them as they break.

There are very few truly “public” bathrooms in DC. Most are inside other establishments, like museums/restaurants/stores etc. Repairs would be the responsibility of whatever entity owns or rents the property. Have you asked the management of these places why their bathrooms are out of order?

Don’t we still have lead pipes in the city that need to be replaced?

I’m sure…

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
