If you haven’t picked up the latest issue of @streetsensedc, correct that immediately. @howisthatlegal is on the cover, and profiles DC’s first drug treatment program for women.

Get this: The D.C. govt is required by law to deliver HARD COPIES of legislation BY HAND to the U.S. Capitol for review. But because of the new fencing around the Capitol, D.C. officials can't get in. That means these laws are basically stuck in legal limbo.

Red Zones, Green Zones, transit closures, National Mall closing.
All of this information has been disparate and hard to visualize.

Airbnb just announced it's cancelling ALL reservations in the D.C. region during Inauguration week. "Guests whose reservations are canceled will be refunded in full. We also will reimburse hosts, at Airbnb’s expense."
Today we’re announcing a 7-step plan to help build trust and assist with protecting our community of hosts and guests in the greater Washington, D.C. area as we approach the Presidential Inauguration.

As DC debates the size and funding of the police department, police often say we don’t have misconduct here like other cities. @paulschwartzman provides essential context for that discussion: washingtonpost.com/local/leg…
