Soon after the "protestors" lit St. John's on fire too. The next day was when Trump forcibly moved the protestors and did that disgusting photo op in front of St. John's. And then only a few months later we had the Capitol Hill riot. Possibly the most shameful day for America I've witnessed in my life.

Different groups, obviously. But that makes it more dangerous, as now you have the real possibility of violent riots from several parts of the political spectrum. This could very well happen in DC again in 2024, if not sooner. The pandemic hit DC hard, but social unrest is a looming threat for DC too.

I think we're probably looking at President Nikki Haley in Jan. 2025. Not sure whether this will lead to protests on either side, or social unrest.

No one is going to vote for a fake jat sikh.

Trumpets won’t vote for her and Punjabis won’t vote for her either.

Wasn't she elected Governor of South Carolina twice? Obviously someone, including so-called Trumpets, will vote for her.

Not a fan of Governor Haley. She made a mockery of the UN, and everything that it stands for

The recent Metro disaster is going to make things a lot worse. With metro basically non functional, how will people return to work?

No one?

People aren't riding metro as much now because of work from home. But metro access is completely critical to the whole way DC is set up for commuting.

People will be back on the metro within two years.

Some will, but I'm not sure you're aware that Fed agencies are rapidly rewriting almost every possible position description to be work from home five days a week. The world is changing fast. Metro will have to adjust to a much lower ridership permanently.

If that’s true this whole region is screwed and people are massively overpaying for housing that will not be worth as much in the future.

I think you completely misunderstand why people pay a lot of money for housing.

Educate us how the cost of housing in this area will not drop if the economic backbone of this area is no longer in this area.

They are still here but they aren’t commuting into the city.

Nah. The feds have committed to wfh to the maximum extent possible. What they do drives everything else in the DMV. Metro is going to have to scale back big time without commuters. It was always a poorly operated enterprise so I won’t miss it.

Why would teleworking feds stay here when the cost of living is astronomical?
