[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not surprised that DC has been hit harder than other cities.

There are many people who live in NY, LA, SF etc because they are world class cities and have a lot to offer.

Most people live in DC because of....work.  Now there have been shifts in work structures that will likely result in a portion of DC office workers having a hybrid or fully remote work arrangement.  I don’t see these people staying chained to DC like I might expect someone to still stay in NY or LA.

On top of that, add in the high COL, social unrest, homeless people and crime.  DC is on the decline.  It’s pretty easy to figure this out.  Now see what happens with a government shutdown!  [/quote]

We actually live in DC b/c we love DC.  [b]What social unrest?  The Trumpers who came and left?[/b]  SF and LA don't have a worse homeless situation than DC?  Really?  [/quote]

Seriously?  You don't remember BLM, Antifa, shattered windows, burning cars, looting?  [/quote]

DC resident here. No I don’t remember this outside of Fox News. There were a couple of broken windows but it wasn’t as wide scale and pervasive as Fox painted it.

City dwellers will only move out for more room if they can’t afford a house in DC. Most will stay for the restaurants and social activities. You are just stuck in a house on the burbs, why would anyone want to WFH in the ‘burbs? It’s isolated and depressing. In DC, I work from home then meet up with friends to do fun stuff —eat at great restaurants, go for drinks, go to shows.[/quote]

This is so ridiculous. Lying about things people can see with their eyes is just stupid. There was not one single cvs in the entire city (including spring valley ffs) that wasn’t looted. Everything with any booze was looted. I mean, give me a break. Observing this FACT with one’s own eyes does not a MAGA make. The refusal to deal in reality will really harm the city…[/quote]

So where is your photo blog f looted CVS stores if you visited every one?

But let’s say you were right and all of them were looted, we were down at the wharf last weekend and it was packed and the CVS was open.  Seems like whatever BLM/MAGA/Aliens vigilance happened has been fixed and forgotten. [/quote]
