[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always feel so weird out of step with my fellow District residents.

Muriel Bowser is the literal worst but pushing for federal RTO is good for DC. I know feds don't like it -- I also didn't like being pushed back into the office. But it's good for the city. A lot of my colleagues live in the burbs and they don't care but I live in the district and I know it's good for the city. If you are a fed go ahead and fight it, but getting mad at Bowser for advocating that one of it's largest employers (the largest? I don't actually know) actually put people in the enormous number of tax-exempt office buildings in DC is not a defensible position in terms of district policy. DC needs the revenue, the cultural impact, and follow-in economic boost.

This is also how I felt when people in DC were mad at Bowser for saying she wanted to get kids back in schools during Covid. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's confusing when I feel so at odds with my neighbors.[/quote]

I 100% agree. And we’re seeing the poor consequences of both in lost revenue and kids further behind in school and highest truancy rates ever. Remote work only improved traffic for drivers but it had no other benefits for the city.[/quote]
