As a #longtimefed I worked in a total of seven different buildings. I saw on Bluesky this morning that the current regime has offered hundreds of federal buildings for sale, about a third of them in the Washington DC area.
You would think a real estate genius would know that selling multiple properties at once, when the agency managing those properties has had its staff cut, might not bring the highest price? Or maybe that‘s not the goal?
kspenmoll OMG they are selling our buildings. Please no one buy them! 1d

Aims42 Real estate genius + 🍑🤡 does not compute. Again, how did a man who declared bankruptcy on his businesses not once, not twice, BUT multiple times become our president??? 1d

Susanita @kspenmoll In “normal” times I would be in favor of selling excess and repurposing the buildings. This happened to the sixth building where I worked, and it made sense. However, these are not normal times. 😒 1d
Leftcoastzen Many federal workers said when they were forced to come back to the office, no desk , no chair, no computer, no WiFi 1d
ImperfectCJ It's possible that it's by design...lower the prices so a handful of wealthy investors can buy up the real estate. It's a stated goal of the administration (via its unelected representative) to privatize as much of the government as possible, and it's in line with the Russian model for oligarchs to gather up all they can at prices engineered to be low by intentionally flooding/crashing the market. A good time to re-read the tagged.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
