[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are several reasons this happened.

1) Buildings sitting empty.  Why is the building being rented if nobody is in it?  So you cannot justify that in your budget.  Well, force people back in.

2)Business are complaining to the mayor and city council that without people coming into the office, they cant survive

3)Parking.  DC garage companies are a mafia.  Always have been.  You can thank Marion Barry.  People are not driving in and parking?  There goes their $

4)Parking enforcement and traffic enforcement.  While DC traffic enforcement is not something I remember being an issue, the parking enforcement is and always has been. Nobody driving into the city?  There goes your revenue from ticketing people.

5) Metro.  Less people riding trains.  So more revenue goes down and there go the unions getting mad that their people are getting cut as they are not needed with decreased ridership.  And in general, less riders=less revenuer in general for a crumbling public transportation infrastructure.  Metro sucks, it is a shell of what it used to be.

6.Control.  At one point, with people working from home, administrations lost oversight.  Having people who could and did do their jobs without issue from home forced back into the office reeks of micro management.

Alot of people moved out of DC during COVID and moved to places like anywhere in WV in the panhandle, Adams County, PA, Frederick & Washington County MD and Louden & Frederick County, VA since they wanted bigger homes, land and low crime.  Now, the "bettors" want them back in the grime.  Do you think management will be returning?  I know from experience, they are not where I work and it is the same at several other companies and government agencies.

It’s the city budget. Revenue projections are horrendous and Bowser was elected by a city that had a consistent, large surplus. She’s panicking and making rash decisions because her administration has never really had to budget before. [/quote]

Yes - I also think that as a result, Bowser would not care if people quit if they don’t like that they have to come in more, since that means less money to spend on staff.  [/quote]
