[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a gorgeous home in Woodley Park and now live in crappy 1950s housing outside the beltway. We have the same profession my parents did (federal government employees)[/quote] Oh and yes it sucks and I hate it[/quote] What is the solution? Moving some government agencies out of the area like they attempted with the FDA? Salaries can’t be bumped up by much, like, ever. Any answers?[/quote] Yes. Letting more feds work from field offices or remotely instead of in DC could be another solution. [/quote] I'd love this. I already had to move to the far exurbs as a worker for a land management agency notorious for low pay/undergrading. I'm pretty typical for someone my age, although my retirement aged and even Gen X peers have lovely homes in nice close in locations. If I could just get a desk at the closest field site to my home it would be huge. But an administrative headache, I'm sure.[/quote]
