The list includes the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which serves as FBI headquarters, the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building, the Old Post Office building, where President Donald Trump once ran a hotel, and the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C.
This is going to be a sell it and lease it back scam right?
Yup
Private equity has arrived for the federal govt.
Petition to meet stupid with stupid: start a national movement to relocate the federal administration buildings to the geographic center of the U.S.
Land is cheap, will soon be rendered unusable by climate change. Why not prop up those dying communities with good paying federal jobs?
Would love to see a dem administration (if we get one again) use this as an excuse to go WFH and spread federal jobs out across America. In some ways it made sense to have most of government centralized in one place, but that’s no longer necessary. Would love to see these jobs offered remote, especially since a lot of them are well paying with pensions. Plus, DC has a huge congestion problem, and all the commuters are bad for climate change. I know a lot of DC economy depends on commuters, but I think it’d be better long term.
