it's a transitory city. people usually don't stay for more than 5 years. they come for work, a name on a resume, and then go up to new york or back to where ever they came from. so for them, they don't care what the prices are because it's not their long term home. this also ripples into the community and culture building aspect of the city. i would say it's people working on the hill more then fed employees but i could be wrong. that wasn't my industry and i did my best to stay far away from those people. no shade @Cje95, you know the dc handshake: what do you do, and who do you work for?
Understood
Wasn’t DC a cheaper place to live and work when Marion Barry was mayor?
reply
i see what you're doing. every person that pursues power is corrupt or will be with enough time. left unchecked they become grifters, extracting everything from the people they swore to protect.
don't turn it into something else.

No
I mean DC was cheaper during the 1980s and 90s
reply
facts, but so was everywhere else in the whole world. i could have bought a whole building in manhattan in the 80s under koch. maybe i'm reading into it too much or missing something?

I’m not discussing the entire world or Manhattan.
Plus cost of living doesn’t rise equally in every city or state or country
Your answer is very defensive and obnoxious.
If you don’t know the answer say nothing or declare ignorance

fair enough.
