[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its no secret trump has stated his hatred of DC which votes 93% for democrats.

I heard this from a friend of a friend with some ties to Trump's inner circles, the plan in the next few years will be to hit/move significant number of agencies out of DC, for the ones which will have to be in the area for logistical reasons/defense/dod will be moved across the river into Virginia in a bid to have loyalists turn Virginia into permanent red state rather than having their people waste their electoral position in MD/DC. Virginia went blue by about 200k. Eventually firing about 100k democrats and having about 100k loyalists in VA will shift it red. DC and MOCO will be rendered into a slum outside of a few places next to the mall/capital hill.

Any how, I am praying this is not true, but it sounds like something they are capable of. [/quote]

Honestly, I'm ok with this. It will lessen my commute to work. [/quote]

Agreed.

Frankly they should go further and distribute agencies across the whole country. It is deeply unhealthy for our Democracy for our vast unelected bureaucracies to live in a one-party bubble city -- I cannot think of any other nation that does this.[/quote]

I don't think they all live here anyway.  And distributing agencies can create more logistical problems and other concerns with workforce, security infrastructure, etc. And how will this help you exactly if you live in VA? You want to move so badly to wherever you think this admin would want to put offices? Where would that be?  In the meanwhile if you want to take most government related functions out of DC metro what will be left to prop up and support your property values? or did you buy your house 20 years ago?[/quote]
