[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're forgetting that DC is a very young place. I know A LOT of young people who left DC to move back in with their parents during the pandemic. There was no reason for them to be there paying high rents when their jobs were virtual and everything was shut down. Some that I know of have come back. [/quote]

Many, if not most, are never coming back.

As a young person, why would you choose DC where the public schools are abysmal and the entrenched local government dysfunctional? [/quote]

Why? 
1. Fantastic job opportunities, many only available here.
2. High pay.
3. Beautiful architecture
4. Bus & metro system + Zip + Lyft means you can get by without a car 
5. Interest in US politics.
6. Two career couples both have lots of job opps in the DMV
7. DC TAG
8. One of America’s few walkable cities 
9. Close to beaches, mountains, small towns, NYC
10. Need I go on?
Signed, I once crashed a Mayor Barry cocktail reception [/quote]

I once worked for Marion.  You should have crashed a Barry snort, sniff, and shoot  party.  Much more fun. [/quote]
