[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She does have a point about underutilized office space that could be converted to housing, but I’m guessing that the government won’t shed office space until it’s time to renegotiate leases, while private sector business will shed office space when it makes economic sense. So it’s probably just a matter of time.[/quote]
She either wants to government to hand over office space currently under lease for free or for the government to hand over office buildings they own to developers for free. Why should Federal taxpayers foot the bill to support DCs prolifigate budget? If this is so important, why doesn’t DC cut spending so that they can provide these freebies? They could sublease the federal office space from GSA and then give it away. Or they could give away DC property to developers.

There is no problem that DC is currently facing that is any different than many other cities across the country. She just wants to set up an excuse to blame the Federal government for her own failures.[/quote]

Maybe because the federal government doesn't pay property tax on any of the prime office space it occupies downtown?[/quote]
