[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you make millions per year and you're worried? Why don't you just move to a different office of your law firm if you think DC is forever changed?[/quote]

Considering it!  Im not worried abt being homeless… im trying not to make a stupid decision to buy an expensive house and set up shop here  in a big way only to have this place descend into some weird police state capitol city under authoritarian rule.  And yes I’m obviously a lawyer.  Moving my whole life  is also a high cost to me and my family so I’m weighing my options.

I’m obviously not surprised that I’m not finding a lot of thoughtful responses here.   And I really do hope that I’m wrong.  But things are not business as usual and I think DC is potentially in a worse position than blue states that can’t just lose all autonomy.  [/quote]

Well, I personally wouldn't be too worried. Remember that about one year ago, everyone predicted that DC was headed for catastrophe because of DOGE. And now we know that the federal workforce was barely affected, and DC real estate has been fine (maybe you're seeing something different, but if there has been a decline, I think it's been marginal at best). Everyplace has its risks (e.g., earthquakes in California), but I think DC is about as safe of a bet as you can get. It won't have the astronomical prices of, say, NY or SF because I don't think it's as desirable as those places, so your upside on a multimillion dollar home may be limited, but it should be relatively stable precisely due to industries like yours.[/quote]
