[quote=Anonymous]DC has been pushing Federal agencies out of the city center into NE and SE, to areas where there are no restaurants or retail shops (and often, no transit nearby). While this was intended to gentrify those areas, in fact it just encouraged Feds to brown bag their lunch and to telework as much as possible even pre-covid. Office space has also been massively overbuilt in the larger DMV area, for probably 10 years pre-covid. (Not converting those to in-person school spaces in 2020 was a huge missed opportunity.) Feds may be a convenient scapegoat, but even if you could bring every DC-based Federal employee into the city every day it would not reverse these long-term issues. [/quote]
