[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was stupid on the part of DC. They should be making it harder to get into the city from the suburbs by car. Not easier. Increases the chances of people moving into the city and decreases the number of dangerous drivers. [/quote]

Great idea!  DC has not been the center of the DMV business community for decades.  Your idea will have the opposite effect.  It will encourage remote workers even more.  If I am unable to drive into and park in DC for a lunch meeting or for dinner, I will not  do so.  There are plenty of entertainment options in the burbs.  [/quote]

Remote workers are happening with or without bike lanes. That is just a fact of post-COVID.

The only thing that will discourage remote work is when employers mandate people come back to an office 3-5 days a week.[/quote]
Are you stuck in 2021? COVID is over. Almost everyone in the private sector is back in the office. It’s only the government that’s systematically not going back to the office. Private sector workers are also more likely to drive because they command higher salaries and work in places, like Tysons, that are more convenient.

When government workers return to the office, I fully expect that they will follow the private sector and abandon Class B and C office space in DC in favor of the suburbs, which is closer and more convenient to where most government workers live anyway. [/quote]
