[quote=Anonymous]Only something like 20-25% of federal jobs are located in the DC region. So the vast majority are already spread across the country. Agencies headquarters won’t be leaving because….wait for it…..heads of agencies are appointed by the President and POTUS is in DC. So you’ll still have the core high-level functions of the agency - policy making, legal, congressional relations, interagency work, budgetary - happening here in DC and in-person. Like DOE, I envision a shrinking of office footprints and more demand created in the suburbs. The far outer exurbs / 2nd home locations around the region are going to benefit from a permanent increase in values; people will tolerate longer commutes only 1-2x per week if it means more space/land/access to nature. But no, the federal jobs are not going to leave this area. Especially the most highly paid and important jobs. People who want the “brass ring” will need to put in their time in DC[/quote]
