[quote=Anonymous]The people pushing this "return to work" stuff are full of crap.

First of all, the restaurants are full, and it's often hard to even get a reservation.

Second, it's obvious none of y'all have recently tried crossing downtown DC at 5:30PM on a weekday.  Even with traffic control people everywhere it's slow and full of gridlock.  Last night I had to run from the Reagan Building to Foggy Bottom and then to the Wharf - that took 1 hour and 20 minutes - just to go less than 6 miles, because of traffic.

DC *does not* need more car commuters.  If they want more people coming in to DC they are going to have to take mass transit.

Third, it's mostly the real estate faction that's whining about it.  But guess what?  Your problems are mostly self-inflicted by your own bubble that was a problem even before the pandemic, for example price fixing and sitting on vacant property that you could have had generating revenue with even a modest rate reduction.  And yeah, the price fixing is real.
