[quote=Anonymous]I think the suburbs will hurt for a few years. Neighbors and friends around me in MoCo have already been laid off or furloughed from gov contracting jobs. All the fast casual and similar restaurants that have opened around me will not be able to survive if all the feds go back to DC (one of the things I think is forgotten in the hand wringing about DC losing revenue from the telework is that the surrounding areas have boomed, and you can’t magically gain in one area without losing in the other). My hair salon place has canceled a plan to bring 2 new stylists on while they see how things go — I know my stylist had at least two cancelations this week due to Trump because they were personal friends. I assume there is more of this going on. Bottom line: I expect my local economy to get worse, and I also expect Marylands budget problems to get worse as a result of all this. Tough years ahead in MoCo, I’d say. [/quote]
