The federal-office ghost town: a fine target for DOGE
Briefly

"The nation's capital is a ghost town," Ernst (R-Iowa) railed, citing an abysmal 12% occupancy rate at DC's federal office buildings. This reflects a concerning trend in federal work dynamics post-pandemic, showing a disconnect between federal employees and the operational needs of government service.
Ernst's work also makes a strong case for moving entire agencies out of DC: Leasing, operating and maintenance costs for federal office buildings run about $15.7 billion a year. This cost burden suggests inefficiencies in how the government manages its physical office spaces.
