Which administration would raise house values in DC?

But if you really want to make DC homes triple in value overnight, make DC a tax free haven. There was a push a few years ago around that, may have been led by republicans or Grover Norquist types. We can't vote, so why pay fed taxes? That would actually get more republicans to move to DC!

It started with Jack Kemp.

He wanted a flat tax for DC and a federal tax exemption.

No, for the most part, the people who move into or out of government when administrations change over already live here. Trump's planning to cut government and/or move agencies out of D.C., too, so if anything, that might spur a wave of home sales in the area.

For the suburbs, but not for the city. Most feds do not actually live in DC proper.

If you head over to the real estate forum, everyone there believes house values will go up 20% every year forever, no matter who is in charge.

Yes, and it never happened, so why would you think it will now?
