“Why are DC taxpayers subsidizing a host of carbon reduction strategies, including insulating tiny gaps, only to watch The Smith & it’s patrons screw the rest of us?!”

1314 U Street, NW

A reader rants:

“Shocked & disappointed to see the new The Smith on U Street with huge doors wide open, AC spilling out on hot humid days & loads of apparent climate change deniers inside. Why are DC taxpayers subsidizing a host of carbon reduction strategies, including insulating tiny gaps, only to watch The Smith & it’s patrons screw the rest of us?!”

Ed. Note: The Smith’s Penn Quarter location also has large windows open.
