[quote=Anonymous]If we ignore all the political noise and MAGA "revenge cutting" and PJ25 and AI and other stuff that fuels talks about DC area apocalypse, what else remains?
From purely CAPITALIST  perspective does it make sense to trash an entire prosperous metro area with already developed 1st class amenities, a bunch of new luxury housing, shiny condos, new transit lines, well developed urban grid of DC and abundant office space, multiple suburban office parks and healthcare facilities, decent schools, and overall positioning of the city in a central mid Atlantic position with mild 4-seasons weather and major universities and tech corridor and 2 major airports, etc, etc?

It's like spending a lot of money to invest into an area only to throw it away? Wouldn't it be rather wasteful and inefficient? 
Capitalism would at least repurpose it.

Although I doubt the tax dollars American taxpayers believe DC stole from them have been invested IN  DC, or it would look like Singapore  :lol:   A few opulent mansions in the "potomac rivera" don't count  :lol: [/quote]
