[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the commuters from outside the District are slowly creeping back in I would love to see them pay a commuter tax.[/quote]

That will not happen.  Businesses will simply move to the burbs.  Many businesses have no real need to be in DC.  The 3 jurisdictions have a compact that none will tax residents of the others who work in their jurisdictions.  Not sure that DC loses out here.   [/quote]

Except business want to be in DC, where their employees have a higher quality of life, and where the sports, concerts and theater are located.[/quote]
Before COVID yes.  But COVID has really changed things.  All the businesses that though they needed to be in the center of it all now realize they can get the work done without the overhead.  Until those tens of thousands of feds return, I don’t think anyone else will commit to returning in numbers that make a positive difference to the District’s economy.  The District govt is going to really need to pressure the federal government to get butts back in seats.[/quote]
