[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feds should all be back at least 3 days a week as well.  [/quote]

Why?[/quote]

[b]Because like it or not the District will not survive without a sustained federal workforce presence. [/b] It will also set an example and help private sector firms get greater return to offices numbers.

Otherwise the tax base of cities disappears and the US economy takes a hit.   All about the economic reality of  how America is set-up.  You are not going to be able to convert significant amounts of commercial real estate to condos and if that is attempted you won’t find buyers. [/quote]

That's silly. They don't need me coming to DC, sitting in a cubicle, using DC public utilities, then going home again. Nobody benefits from that. Also nobody benefits from making me come to DC to sit in a cubicle to do the exact same things for work that I do at home.[/quote]

Maybe you are an outlier, but most people that commute into the city pay for parking or metro and patronize the local businesses. [/quote]

DP...  maybe you're a highly paid lobbyist or biglaw attorney but most of the rest of us schmoes aren't paid enough for that to be a habit - mostly we rode metro in and brought a lunch.  We aren't paid enough to pay $26 a day for parking and $20 for a mediocre salad or sandwich for lunch.  We might go out for a lunch or Friday happy hour once or twice a month but that's about it.
