[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing no one is talking about is the effect that RTO will have on real estate values and development.  People moved further away from DC, homes are being built to satisfy that demand for more affordable places to live and raise a family.  New business sprung up in places that were deserted a few years ago.

Say feds need to RTO back to 2020 levels—what happens to those outer burbs and developments (that tend to vote for republicans)?

The economics of WFH are not simple and saying we need to keep DC dry cleaners in business at the expense of other communities and families, is not a good look.

Productivity is up despite the usual anti-WFH people claiming it’s not.

I’m happy to go into the office, because I bought my house near the beltway a long time ago when it was more affordable.  The commute still sucks, but I make an okay wage and I don’t have kids in daycare. I don’t see how junior employees with kids can make it work anymore.  Costs for childcare and education are just astronomical and wages are not increasing for feds.  Feds had an effective 1.5% pay CUT last year after inflation. They don’t need another hit.  I just don’t get it all.[/quote]

Fed WFH made housing much more expensive in places far beyond the beltway, where non feds, or even feds who work in facilities in those areas cannot afford homes in those areas--ask me how I know. So now housing is expensive  close to DC and all up and down the east coast and possibly beyond. This change has only benefited feds who work from home. I know, that is all who you care about, but other people have other concerns. It is not all about you.[/quote]
LOL.  Actually it is all about me first and foremost.  If I don’t look out for number one, who will.[/quote]

Well the government is doing the same thing--doing what it thinks is best for the government and country as a whole. [/quote]
