Tourists generate more than half of D.C's sales tax alone!! http://tinyurl.com/cmryjf3 Which says in part: "As the seat of the U.S. government and heart of American democracy, Washington, D.C., is a city that relies heavily on the tourism industry ? so much so that visitors regularly generate more than half of the city's annual sales taxes. So it should come as something of a relief to city officials, especially after a year in which they were forced to close a $322 million budget gap, that the $5 billion tourism industry grew strongly in 2010 and is expected to close out 2011 on a high note. Regardless, a weaker forecast for conventions means the city will have to continue drawing in leisure travelers, with more and more of them coming from abroad, while picking up the convention pace in the coming years. "In 2012 we won't realize as many citywide [conventions] as we did in 2011, however we're optimistic as we're going to focus our efforts and initiatives on going after the domestic market and the international visitors market," said Elliott Ferguson, president and CEO of Destination DC, the city's tourism marketing agency. In 2010, according to the agency, 15.54 million domestic visitors flocked to the nation's capital, a 5.1 percent increase over the prior year. They spent $5.68 billion, up 8.2 percent from 2009, with lodging and food accounting for a large portion of that total. Things seem to be looking up for 2011, too. Comparing July 2010 to the same month a year later, occupancy is roughly holding steady, while average daily rates ticked up 1.5 percent, according to Smith Travel Research" |

I had a bunch of points I turned in for the room (from work travel), so I'm not sure how much the rooms were, but not cheap. We spent the money on other things instead. Nice restaraunts and car rental to drive to Mount Vernon and a couple of other places. Ate at The Palm one night and saw Dee Dee Myers there. Rode the underground tram from the Capital to the Senate Building (was a while back). Walked a LOT. Everyone needs to go at least once in their lives. |

I sometimes go into pretty rough neighborhoods, too, since several of my clients are involved with investments and construction in places like Anacostia. I've been "panhandled," of course. Do you alleged "clients" pay their taxes, unlike you? My wife has been working almost every weekday in DC for 15 years, and in three different locations, travels all over DC for various meetings and functions, and traveled via Metro hundreds of times to a college campus on the fringe of several "rough" neighborhoods. She's never been robbed or mugged, either. Hell no, she's a BIG old bruiser! Maybe we're just lucky, or maybe we don't look away in horror or disdain at poor people, or people with different skin colors. You should be the one people are looking at in "disdain" because you are a low life tax cheat. |

Hey, if it keeps racist white trash like Herring out of DC... That is really only 3 years old in statistical terms. The FBI reporting is 2 years behind. I doubt it really looks any different today. That map could be 30 years old and it would still look about the same. I bet if they went out East of the Anacostia river the whole map would be a hot spot, all the way out past the beltway. Many parts of Anacostia are pretty grim. About once every two weeks, I have to drive to DC rather than take the commuter bus or the Metro, and many times I drive along Pennsylvania Avenue into and out of the city, right through Anacostia. I've also Metro'd in to see the Nats play, and that goes right through Anacostia, too. Over the years, I've been on commerical and large scale residential jobsites all over DC, including Anacostia. I've parked in Anacostia and walked several blocks to job sites when onsite parking wasn't available. You'd think by now I would have seen a few reasons for those hot spots, eh? The only places I've been shot at in the United States have been in the South, once in Mississippi and once in south Louisiana, and both times the shooter was white, and the areas were rural. |

It is just a few blocks from where I was robbed ... about 10PM New York at 11th has been almost totally redeveloped and gentrified. The old convention center is gone. Last week, I had a little time before a meeting in Chinatown and walked 15th down NY Avenue and then into the eastern edge of Chinatown. Lots of other people were walking, too. |

Hey, if it keeps racist white trash like Herring out of DC... That is really only 3 years old in statistical terms. The FBI reporting is 2 years behind. I doubt it really looks any different today. That map could be 30 years old and it would still look about the same. I bet if they went out East of the Anacostia river the whole map would be a hot spot, all the way out past the beltway. Many parts of Anacostia are pretty grim. About once every two weeks, I have to drive to DC rather than take the commuter bus or the Metro, and many times I drive along Pennsylvania Avenue into and out of the city, right through Anacostia. I've also Metro'd in to see the Nats play, and that goes right through Anacostia, too. Over the years, I've been on commerical and large scale residential jobsites all over DC, including Anacostia. I've parked in Anacostia and walked several blocks to job sites when onsite parking wasn't available. You'd think by now I would have seen a few reasons for those hot spots, eh? The only places I've been shot at in the United States have been in the South, once in Mississippi and once in south Louisiana, and both times the shooter was white, and the areas were rural. Kevin's kin?? |

Kevin's kin?? The first was stupid enough to have been. The second was during an organizing drive for oil rig supply crews, and the shooter was just an asshole guard who thought (wrongfully) that it was "illegal" to set up a picket line on a public sidewalk outside the yard's main gate. |

I've been pretty much everywhere in Anacostia. |

How many times have you been mugged or robbed in DC? Twice, also, does being shot at count? I spend a lot more time in the DC than you do or did, and I've never been mugged or robbed. I sometimes go into pretty rough neighborhoods, too, since several of my clients are involved with investments and construction in places like Anacostia. I've been "panhandled," of course. My wife has been working almost every weekday in DC for 15 years, and in three different locations, travels all over DC for various meetings and functions, and traveled via Metro hundreds of times to a college campus on the fringe of several "rough" neighborhoods. She's never been robbed or mugged, either. Maybe we're just lucky, or maybe we don't look away in horror or disdain at poor people, or people with different skin colors. The guy who robbed me on 11th street was white. The knife sort of took it out of the "pan handle" category. The other 2 incidents were late at night, one just off Nichols Avenue (now MLK), one on Wheeler Road. Why the hell would you keep going back? |

But then, the truth comes out, and gee, he's not a profitable shopping center owner, he's a deadbeat who doesn't pay his bills or taxes. |
