Actually, they want to live in Northwest DC and Georgetown where they have space to entertain. Maybe the third tier appointees will go to McLean or GF, but the majors will be in the city.

Just read in article that said that Trumpsters like City Center and Kalorama. Georgetown has not been popular.

Does it really matter? It's amazing for the District as a whole. There is also not a single condo available to rent or buy on the whole of the Wharf at Southwest Waterfront. I love seeing my city flourish.

It was going to flourish with or without Trump.

I agree in principle. But I really sincerely doubt the Kushners would have invested $1.1 billion in the DMV area if Jared wasn't living here with his wife. I think its been an important factor since he's here on the ground and apparently sees the potential of the area and has been/will be living here long-term (whether that means 4 years or 8 years). And that's me just being honest.

If he cracks down on sanctuary cities DC the most to lose in terms of its federal funding. That will hurt us all the most and it would be the easiest for him to implement as D.C. aid powerless to push back without states rights. If he decides to teach the country a lesson he very well may use DC as the example.

Don't think that current trends towards urbanization aren't just that, trends which are by their nature cyclical. Also the greater national trend doesn't port to D.C. Like for like. DC has artificial borders and multiple business cores. What other cities count as the urban center extends into Maryland and Va which gives residents choices, if DC proper loses its trendy status when people start losing money on homes and getting stuck in shitty areas, we could very well see a shift back.

Give me a break. DC will be fine. The suburbs aren't interesting to businesses. Rents are already cheap. Arlington has low occupancy rates now. Companies want to be in DC. They currently pay a premium to be here.

Currently is the key word there.

Unlikely to change because the burbs are ugly and boring, and many have even worse traffic than the city.

Report: Kushner Family Pays $1.1B for 6,000 Apartments in Maryland, Virginia

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Report-Kushner-Family--506270541.html

Real estate investors buy apartments when they expect recessions. But Kushner is a terrible real estate investor, so who knows.

Kushner is also a terrible landlord; this is awful news for renters in this region. Anyone celebrating this acquisition is gross.

Jared Kushner, meanwhile, has no role in any of this, a spokesman for his attorney, Abbe Lowell, told Bloomberg.

“As part of an ethics agreement he has and has followed, Mr. Kushner has had no role in the Kushner Companies or its activities since joining the government over two years ago,” Mirijanian said. “He is walled off from any business or investment decisions and has no idea or knowledge of these activities."

Yes because Kushner is so trustworthy.

Look morality police - I feel for you, I really do. But this is the real estate boards, its about real estate investments plan and simple. And a buy-out like this puts D.C. on the map in way that only previously cities like NYC or Chicago or San Francisco were seeing.

As for the 'this is more proof of a recession', is that the same proof that said interest rates were going to hike all throughout 2018 and 2019? Because that was a lot of smoke and mirrors as well.

Why? Why in the world would you want it to be private industry focused when they can fold at any time?

So your position is that the real estate board isn’t the place to talk about the ethics of real estate investors? Cool cool.

(Also I can’t believe anyone with two brain cells to rub together posted the laughable quote from Kushner’s attorney. I almost hope it was a troll because I refuse to believe that anyone is that much of a sucker.)

I switched from Dem to Independent 20 years ago. Loved Obama, now love Trump. Was indifferent to Clinton and the Bushes.

My income has exploded too, but I’m glad I voted against him. Quite frankly, my income is going to go up no matter who is president. No need to support a racist ignorant president just for my own income.

Sorry - income, job security and home value have increased under Trump. Still hate them. I’m not selfish. I’d like some others to do well too.
