[quote=Anonymous]Mayor Bowser has now unveiled her proposal for downtown DC and it’s wild stuff that is primarily reliant on the Federal government and the real estate industry making financial donations to the city for absolutely zero reason.

Here’s the plan:
- Increase residents in downtown by 15,000 in 5 years with a long term goal to have 100,000 residents living in downtown DC. How? Doesn’t say. 
- Have the Federal government end remote work. How and why would they do this? Doesn’t say. 
- Have the Federal government give away federal office buildings that are underutilized for either use by non-profits or conversion to housing (give away to developers?). How and why would they do this? Doesn’t say.

Also committed not to increasing property taxes. That should worry everyone about DCs future financial condition that these discussions are taking place. These folks are fundamentally unserious.
