[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there’s much doubt that McLean will go downhill with the rest of the region. Many jobs will be lost in both the government and private industry, and many will leave the area. A lot of people come here for jobs, but that will change. You can argue whether that’s a good or bad thing in the long run I guess. But if you’re in the market for a house you should wait a couple of years or so and snap up some bargains. [/quote]

That's one hypothesis.  The opposite is just as likely to happen. Things remaining the same is just as likely to happen.  In other words, nobody knows.  The way it appears now despite the previous messaging:  In no way Trump's administration and DOGE and an army of tech billionaires are making it about reducing spending, if anything it's increase in spending. They want to do more, not less.  How do you "revamp" stuff without creating extra jobs? and many of these jobs will be in IT/tech sector which isn't the lowest paying compared to Fed jobs being lost.  The only way you could be possibly right is if they decide to "shut down" DC altogether and migrate new jobs elsewhere with all the work done remotely.  But they want RTO and to fill empty DC DT offices that are paid for but underutilized. [/quote]
