This post is riddled with poor messaging and bad statistics. One thing I'll start with - most federal employees are not located in Washington DC: only a fifth reside in the DMV. That means that 80% are distributed throughout the United States. Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/01/07/what-the-data-says-about-federal-workers/#are-most-federal-workers-in-the-washington-d-c-area. The post about real estate values in the DMV also does not cite any sound data. I appreciate your opinion, but no longer find your postings valuable as they are clearly not fully baked or backed up with data.
