[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My agency moved to the burbs then I left DMV when offered full remote. Once an agency moved out of DC there's really no reason to be in this area anymore.

DC itself is going to thrive with the private sector. The city has been out of the price range of federal salaries for 10 years or so already anyways. The only people in DC going to miss the feds will be metro, food carts, and bars.[/quote]
This is it. The issue is not the Feds leaving the DMV. The real concern is agencies leaving DC proper for the burbs. Most Fed employees live in the burbs anyway. Once the agencies go, it triggers a series of further actions that are all detrimental to the city.

There seems to be general agreement that a recession is coming. This will be the first recession in a long, long time that will not be met with either monetary or fiscal stimulus. “Recession proof” DC will be put to the test at the same time that even Fed jobs are leaving the city. It is a bad combination.

Not that long ago, DC was hoping for the FBI to leave for commercial redevelopment at that location. I imagine that when the FBI finally decides to move to Springfield, which seems to be the preferred destination, DC will be lobbying for them to stay.[/quote]
