If you can’t read Greater Greater Washington every day, you’ll still be able to catch all our posts at a glance with Greater Greater Week in Review.

Featured posts:

Proof and Examiner monger fear of youth in Chinatown: The Washington Examiner discusses an upcoming event for youth in Chinatown. The piece, written by Freeman Klopott, opens by comparing the event to the violent mob riots in London.

To really FixWMATA or Unsuck DC Metro, get involved: Online critics of WMATA like Unsuck DC Metro and FixWMATA have shone valuable light on Metro failings and built pressure for change. But online shaming can only do so much to change an agency. I hope they will take the next step and get involved in actually trying to push for reform.

A color-blind Montgomery County is still a myth: Supporters of Montgomery County’s proposed teen curfew say we shouldn’t worry about racial profiling. But in this newly majority-minority jurisdiction, race is the one thing we should be talking about.

Arlington right to close slip lane in Arlington Ridge: Arlington wants to fix a pedestrian safety flaw and slow traffic in the Arlington Ridge neighborhood. But a group of vocal neighbors is loudly protesting the move, arguing it’s worse for safety and claiming Arlington didn’t listen to their concerns.

Most popular:

Auto-free car renters juggle complicated insurance options: Urbanites in DC and elsewhere frequently utilize rental cars as an alternative to owning their own vehicles. However, without an auto insurance policy, some renters may be putting themselves at more risk than they realize.

Speeding suburban driving to DC won’t fight unemployment: The good news: Mayor Gray has announced in recent months several large projects that will create new jobs in DC. The bad news: while these projects make a small dent in DC’s unemployment rate, the reality is that only 28% of DC jobs go to DC residents.

GGW introduces a new comment policy: The comment threads at Greater Greater Washington have always been valued as a place where a thoughtful and open discussion occurs. But recently, some of those threads have taken a turn for the worse.

Why can’t the feds telework on extremely hot days?: Federal government workers in the DC area are allowed to telework when it snows. Why aren’t they encouraged to do so on extreme heat days? Fortunately, there are signs of progress.

New hospital a prime opportunity for TOD in Prince George’s: A recently announced healthcare partnership could bring a much-needed new regional medical center to central Prince George’s County. However, at least one commentator is floating suggestions for a massive sprawling complex instead of a compact campus located near one of the county’s many barren Metro Stations.
