and a) the inauguration itself is at the Capitol and isn't moving, b) it was literally 10 months ago, he should remember, and c) it's literally bigger than not only the White House, but every ballroom and auditorium in DC, and the DC Convention Center combined with the adjoining Marriott ballrooms

it's WILD how many stops there are on their metro compared to any U.S. city. you'd absolutely be in another town in 6-10 stops in the U.S. and there you've quickly gone a mile and a half? some distance I just end up walking half the time?

This also makes them more accessible

People who are intimidated by hills or distance can use e-bikes, or start by using a bike for short trips as they get fit. Either option is a 1,000x better for the planet and their health
