[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this idea!  I'm a Fed and would prefer to live in a more affordable city closer to home.  I am constantly conflicted by the choice of doing important and interesting work in my field vs. raising my children near family.  I would love to not have to make those trade-offs.

If so many federal employees weren't crammed into DC, cost of living here would go down too.  It would be great if whole departments could just move elsewhere... [b]how much do the Secretaries really need to be physically in DC anyway?  They can just hop on a plane for Cabinet meetings or meetings at the White House.  It probably wouldn't be that often, right?[/b]

As a taxpayer, I love the idea of relocating some government functions to less expensive locales.  It would also open up federal employment to whole new geographic areas, which could allow the government to get better employees (if they fixed their messed up hiring system).

I don't think it will happen, but it's absolutely worth exploring.[/quote]

Better yet, VTC for most of their meetings.  No need to waste money on overpriced government rate airfare (2-4 x the cost of the same ticket bought on Travelocity or orbitz)[/quote]
