[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would be interested in seeing how the demographics shift - i.e. young and single staying or DINKs staying in the city vs. older folks and families moving out. Telework is really changing things now that people, especially parents and those with establish/senior jobs, don't need to commute as much, if at all.

Real estate wise, seems like there is plentiful housing for single or DINKs while there is less housing for families, plus real estate for families is currently seeming stagnant vs. the burbs. In Hill East, rowhouses are sitting in the market and dropping prices, in the burbs and exurbs, SFHs are  in heated bidding wars, at least in the NOVA burbs where we are looking for a SFH for under $950k. Crime also looks to be at play here in some areas of the city where people felt comfortable buying a few years ago, and now are preferring to avoid.[/quote]

Since DC's per-pupil spending is about $25k per kid per year, a demographic shift would probably be good for the budget.  [/quote]
