[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread proves that none of you doom posters know what you're talking about. The MLB would NEVER allow the Os to move, please shut up.

Nats aren't leaving either. [b]You all really wanna see DC fail, why is that[/b]. [/quote]

Because it's full of black people [/quote]

DC used to be full of black people.  It’s no longer a majority black city.  Also, I don’t think anyone wants to see DC fail.  I think most hope it will get better.[/quote]
DC is a one trick economic pony.  The District won’t get better until workers return at a significant level.  That won’t happen as WFH is here to stay.  Its fortunes are very bleak.[/quote]

I agree that most hope it will get better, but there are a few posters on DCUM who are very prolific and who really, really, really want to see it fail.^^^[/quote]
PP is not hoping DC will fail but rather simply pointing out facts.  The road to recovery for DC rests in large part on getting offices filled again.  That won’t happen.[/quote]

Make a compelling case for how and why the offices will be filled again?  The work is getting done.  So why does someone want to commute 45 minutes in and 45 minutes out (because it's too expensive to live in dc) and why would they want to spend $17 dollars to go out and get a mediocre sandwich or salad that should cost a lot less than that amount (but again a lot of that is driven by rent demanded of restaurants and retail).  If you want a return to downtown offices et cetera then one of the big things that needs to happen is that rent and real estate need to come down in price.  Rents for businesses downtown need to come down, rents and housing costs throughout the city needs to come down.[/quote]
