[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awesome! I would finally go. People in this thread must all live in Maryland. Guess what, Virginia exists too![/quote]

DC is in the middle - good for everyone.[/quote]

Actually the population middle is in Virginia. [/quote]

The idea that DC is still the anchor of the metropolitan region is old and obsolete.

- The majority of the region's population lives in Virginia
- The majority of the region's jobs are in Virginia
- The majority of the region's economic growth is in Virginia
- The city and Maryland's suburbs continue to fall further behind.

DC is still trying to figure out how to force federal workers back to the offices in DC.[/quote]
+1.  Agencies simply ignored the Zients memo.  Without commuters at a greater number than 2-3 times a week, DC will continue to hemorrhage businesses.  I read somewhere that on any given day, DC offices are at 70% vacancy.  This will continue the spiral of increasing crime and decreasing services.  Can’t fix it now.[/quote]

Live in DC and agree. We have been here since early 90s and are planning to move to VA. MoCo has enough goofy ideas like banning traffic stops that make it look like it's chasing DC for poor policies.

IMO DC is not even close to the bottom of the cycle with floated policies like media vouchers and truancy rates close to 90% at some high schools, which doesn't seem to alarm politicians. Moving 5,000+ mentally ill, addicted or released convicts into the W3 tax base for the city and destroying the quality of life along Connecticut and Wisconsin avenues has been the chef's kiss. DC is chasing West Coast disastrous policies. When leases expire wonder if more federal agencies will relocate? [/quote]
