[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYC officials are already sounding alarms because they see how the paradigmatic shift to remote work threatens to damage the fiscal health of the city. I’m not seeing that same type of concern being expressed by DC leaders. DC needs the suburbs and suburban money. Telling people to ride an unreliable train or bus into the city is not a viable strategy to encourage people from the suburbs back into the city.[/quote] The fact is that this region is symbiotically connected. While we joke among ourselves about DC, MD, or VA we are the DMV. Takoma Park is not a place in MD or a place in DC. It is a place in the DMV. Every single dollar spent is a competition between jurisdictions. Consumers are agnostic about jurisdiction. They will go wherever has the best combination of distance (measured in time), convenience (measured in parking), and selection. It's a balance and increasing distance while decreasing convenience is a bad thing. [/quote]
