💨 Abstract

faces significant economic challenges, including a shrinking federal workforce and a $1 billion revenue shortfall over the next three years, primarily due to reduced commercial real estate taxes. The departure of over 13,000 high-earning households has further strained the tax base. The city's infrastructure, including federal parks and national gateways, has seen neglect. Despite past legislative hurdles, Congress and the Trump administration have expressed a willingness to support D.C.
