“Dear Popville,
Here goes! I was unlocking my bike at the rack outside of the Natural History Museum (5/31) when you walked up talking to someone on your airpods. I just minded my own and went about my business, as one does in the city, and you ended your conversation and assured me you were not talking to yourself. (more…)

“August is a rescue pittie with a heart of gold. Any fellow dog owners in our neighborhood (14th St near Logan Circle) know how much progress he’s made with his behavior and reactivity in the past few months since returning from bootcamp (shout-out to Kanine Karma dog trainers). Anyway he’s the sweetest gentlemen to other humans (and tries his best around other dogs)”
“Dear PoPville,
We bought an affordable housing unit (non-IZ) in a two-unit condo building near H St NE a few years ago, as did the other unit owner. We share an entrance, porch, and yard, and while we’ve generally co-existed pleasantly, he recently decided to buy another house with his girlfriend and rent out his condo unit on Airbnb.
The DC short term rental regulations require attestation that the condo rules don’t prohibit short term rentals and/or written permission from the board to get a short term-rental license; our rules prohibit it and we’ve never given permission, so not sure how he got a license. But he got one, and judging from the constant stream of tourists he’s raking in that sweet Airbnb cash.
While of course we’re sick of the noise and strangers smoking on our porch, it really doesn’t sit right with us that this is an affordable unit/building with affordability covenants on title that’s being used for personal profit when affordable housing is in short supply. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Several blocks in the AdMo-Kalorama neighborhood are now signed “No Parking” for the remainder of the month, meaning a couple hundred-plus parking spaces will get axed during that time. Can understand the one block of Kalorama Road and Wyoming Avenue (between Columbia Road and 18th Street) getting the signs in preparation for the one-way conversion. (more…)
