[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How on Earth are people getting comfortable buying real estate in DC right now? I’m already a homeowner here and under different circumstances would be looking to upgrade my home but:

- the Potomac River is a biohazard and sure that won’t be the case forever but didn’t we learn something here?? this area is such a disaster - truly - it’s so mismanaged that things like this are likely to keep happening

- city may very well be under federal rule soon.  Whole country going down the tubes but this area is uniquely bad.  We’ve lost the Kennedy center.  Smithsonians probably next.  All those perks of living here will be gone by the time trump done with us

I could go on but hopefully you get it.  Look…we are seeing it in prices.  So yes demand is down.

I’d love to have lived here long term in another universe…how are those of you who are deciding to double down on DC justifying it to yourselves.

If you think the shit in the river or in the white house are good things, probably don’t care to hear from you.

I'll give you a better answer than the ones above. People live here for the jobs. It's not like there's a ton to offer otherwise compared to many parts of the country. If the jobs are here, people will live here.[/quote]
