[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with DC downtown is not crime. The problem is empty offices, no one spending in restaurants and retail, and reduced tax revenues as a result.

The mayor is advocating for her city.  Plain and simple.  [/quote]
She’s advocating for Trump to reign in Federal workers. The problem with making such requests to Trump is that it is much more likely that if you convince him to take any action at all on Federal workers aside from just ignoring them, the outcome is likely to be bad for both the workers and DC. She’s better off just keeping her head down, but she cannot seem to help herself and wants to Peacock, apparently trying to instigate a showdown with Trump that will raise her profile.  [/quote]

+1. This is exactly right. There are so many possible bad outcomes here. Maybe feds spend more time at the office, but there are fewer of them because so many are fired or moved to other locations, so the net impact is negative. Maybe Trump demands personal favors relating to DC real estate in return for giving the mayor what she wants on RTO. Or maybe something else. It's too bad that the mayor doesn't remember from Trump's first administration that everyone who thought that some good would come out of aligning with Trump on something ended up being taken advantage of and then discarded.[/quote]
