[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I just looked at a map of where the professional hockey and basketball teams are located.  LA and NYC, cities on par with DC, each have 2 basketball teams and 2 hockey teams.  This area could definitely support more.
Additionally, there are places in the middle of no where, like Oklahoma City, Calgary, Winnipeg, or Edmonton that have teams; there are hockey teams in places that make no sense - Florida (?!?!) has two hockey teams.  It doesn’t even have any snow there.
Let Leonsis sell out DC and take his precious teams to Virginia and we’ll simply go and get new teams from somewhere that doesn’t really need/deserve them because of geography.[/quote]

DC is on par with Baltimore now, not NYC or LA.

Sorry that you are hemorrhaging businesses and amenities but DC is run by incompetent morons who turn a blind eye to crime because “they still babies.”  You’re getting exactly what you deserve. [/quote]

I agree that much of DC's issues are self inflicted and are generated from the mayor's office, city council, general attorney's office, etc. They have all turned a blind eye to the increase in crime that has occurred starting with the BLM marches and were only augmented by COVID and the resulting decisions to allow all the goldbrickers to WFH. This has caused DC to be an absolute ghost town. It has been 3+ years since COVID hit and 2 years since a vaccine and only now am I hearing friends that work in DC government talk about edicts on number of days they need to be in the office. It is only now that some of DC's courts are requiring in person hearing.

Saying all that some of this is on the federal government and its complete lack of pushing federal workers back into their offices. You want to solve the crime issue and business closure issue, get the feds back into their buildings. That will push the workers in the office above the current rate of somewhere around 40%.[/quote]
