New FBI HQ. Check.
New world class football/concert stadium and mixed-use development. Check.
Continued large scale development in Georgetown, the Wharf, SW DC, McMillian Reservoir, and Walter Reed. Check++++.
Metro ridership back above 1,000,000 riders per day. Check.
DC crime now below pre-pandemic levels. Check.
This is why we didn't flee for the suburbs during COVID. Everything is bouncing back even bigger than before.
Yup, everything will be bouncing back even bigger than before, including your tax bill.

Virginia lost. Deal with it.
Looks like Maryland ultimately lost as well — even with the former biased GSA woman who went against the recommendation of the GSA panel and the desire of FBI leadership, and even after the shenanigans pulled by the MD Congressional delegation.
Not dead yet. Which means Virginia is still in play as well since the Senate Appropriations Committee thinks they have the final say.

The “decision” for Greenbelt was clearly a political one, not one based on costs and benefits. The current proposed change also is political. Shock - Federal decisions in metro DC are political.
