[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The typical GS-13 can no longer afford to buy a home in the DC area. Losing those jobs will have zero effect on the local housing market.[/quote] Actually you can afford to buy a home, but it's not a "middle class" home anymore in the DC area. More like working class. Most people in the DC region no longer work for the feds anyhow, and many who are, are looking to get out now. [/quote] Yeah. And the fact that many, many government career tracks top out at 13 or lower, it's absurd to force people to remain in the DC area where a 30-year career won't afford even a middle class lifestyle. There is not enough headroom for everyone to be a 14/15 administrator. [/quote]
