Yes- you are making sense here- but not for all of the land- there is a huge abundance of land-especially on the House side- where numerous buildings have been torn down over the years [ it boggles the mind WHY they would tear down these buildings when office space is at such a premium]
also- my idea here- the Congress would be acting in it's own and in the public's interest if they built some kind of dorm/hotel/mized use building so that new Congressional people could live near their jobs.As for fat midewesterners and Northern virginians- it is certainly my experience that many of these people have a problem with their weight- as well as with supporting excellent uses of federal money- like high speed rail- which was rejected by Ohio and Minnesota [ and Florida]. NoVa is full of people who live in the sprawl and are hostile to the city- so I feel absolutely NO REASON to apologize or to moderate my blast furnace comments. If I heard more positive things in support of DC and our rights by people from Virginia I would,perhaps feel more inclined to be moderate. As a Native of DC I have to deal with people from both Ohio and Virginia on a daily basis- and I do not like most of them- although there are always good people no matter where you go in the world- even in god-forsaken dumps like Saudi Arabia there are nice people.
