[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty damning quote in the article from a lady who moved to Frederick.

[quote]“The exodus calculation, for me, included the social unrest in D.C., the cost of living, becoming a mom,” said Ms. Zachariah. “But we could never make a move like this without flexibility at work.”[/quote][/quote]

Meh. Anyone quoting social unrest was going to the suburbs (probably Silver Spring or Wheaton) 100%. Nothing to see there.

We were at the wharf this weekend it was packed.

Turn some empty offices into rock climbing gyms (already happening), ninja courses, art studios, you’ll see the DINK millenials and gen a line up.

Most jobs will still require some presence in office, so you can’t go full Fargo. [/quote]
Interesting that you are more optimistic and confidence about this than city leaders or downtown BID officials. Do you know something that no one else does? Also, where are these rock gyms, ninja course and art studios in DC office buildings?
[quote]Civic leaders worry that a prolonged cooling of the commercial real-estate market and slower tourism could damp the downtown foot traffic that keeps restaurants and retailers afloat.[/quote][/quote]

Also Earth Trek in Crystal City sets the model for reuse of vacant office space laying fallow. [/quote]
Yeah, that's not going to save downtown DC.[/quote]
