[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not surprised that DC has been hit harder than other cities.

There are many people who live in NY, LA, SF etc because they are world class cities and have a lot to offer.

[b]Most people live in DC because of....work.[/b]  Now there have been shifts in work structures that will likely result in a portion of DC office workers having a hybrid or fully remote work arrangement.  I don’t see these people staying chained to DC like I might expect someone to still stay in NY or LA.

On top of that, add in the high COL, social unrest, homeless people and crime.  DC is on the decline.  It’s pretty easy to figure this out.  Now see what happens with a government shutdown!  [/quote]

NP. PP is completely right about most people living in DC bc of work. Work was the only thing tying me to DC. Once given the option to telework 100%, I was outta DC so fast you wouldn't believe it. Many of my friends did the same.
I am mid 30s married with a young toddler and used to live in Logan/Shaw. Thrilled for the opportunity to not be tethered to DC anymore.[/quote]

Thanks for clearing that up.  I didn't know that you personally are "most people."[/quote]
