I live in DC too. Apartment prices have gotten crazy high. I really lucked out on my place. I found it on CL, the ad had no pictures, and it was posted on Valentine's Day. So glad I acted quickly (and didn't have a date).

One thing you might try are the neighborhood listservs. People sometimes post on there. And tell everyone you know in DC that you are looking for a place.

I know of a nice 1 BR above ground place coming available on Capitol Hill, but it's probably going to rent for around $1600-1700.

I wonder how many people who decorate actually live in apartments.

The laser cutter would be more enviro-friendly than your typical lawn mower.

Anyone know where the sofas are from?

Love, love, love my old fashioned radiators -- and so does my respiratory system.

I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of these type of options - our office recently used this in DC. One good thing is that it makes you unpack!

DC has community gardens too - over 30. Including one of the few remaining Victory Gardens. They are very popular and most have long waiting lists, so this is definitely a possible solution to that problem.

Parking garages don't have to be ugly http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n6/NathnWlkr/StautonGarage1.jpg Thanks Mayor Riley.

However, the parking issue is bigger than just building prettier garages... http://www.epa.gov/dced/parking.htm

I bike by that house! And every time I am intrigued.

Also if the gal was looking to build raised beds for edibles -- untreated lumber is a must. As you said, pressure-treated lumber is filled with nastiness.
