If the catastrophically unprofitable pseudo-tech company Living Social can convince the DC government to give it a gigantic tax abatement, I'm sure they'll fall for this plan, too.

Can anyone name one actual tech startup that has come out of DC...ever? A hodgepodge of silly social networking and analytics companies milking VC cash before they burn out is not exactly reassuring.

DC proper has never been a hospitable home for young tech minds, and there's no reason a dedicated space is going to change that.
