I’ve lived in DC on and off since the late 80s. It has nothing to do with on-site feds (there was no remote work in the 90s and DC was a dump).

Gentrification led to over expanding. My neighborhood alone went from lovely row homes to over priced condos, no play space for families and NINE coffee shops in three blocks. Eventually those young people get married and have kids. They want playgrounds. They want good schools and they want more than just latte and gelato. [/quote]

I’m talking about downtown.  Y’all need to get back here.  Stop being selfish hermits in the exurbs and get back into the city in offices where you belong.  That’s what you signed up for when you took your job.  Stop fleecing the taxpayers. [/quote]

whatever. i live two miles from the office and i'm absolutely more efficient at home. it takes over 10 minutes to get through security and to walk to my office. i don't go out to lunch, there's no point. at home i might stop by the coffeeshop for a lunchbreak since i CAN do that in 30 minutes. i do spend a bunch of time just socializing at the office when i go in since its apparently so godawful important.

anyway, giant swathes of corporate and government real estate has always resulted in an evening wasteland. the city needs better residential options, not people in cubicles.

no one is fleecing the taxpayers by working from home, except for maybe the contractors who we are not allowed to ask if they are working two jobs at once.

i think middle managers are just big mad that there aren't any young women in the office to harass and try to have an affair with.
