The pandemic has devastated downtown D.C. Some fear the damage is permanent.

Not the pandemic. There is no pandemic. This devastation was man-made and driven by spite.

Yep.

Many K-St/ Connecticut Ave area buildings remained boarded up through June. I'm seeing less plywood but no more openings.

What happened is this:

1. The Wuhan shut down offices.
2. The riots knocked out their windows and kept them shut.
3. Workers said, forget it, and I hate the commute anyway.
4. Companies said, okay, cheaper that way, and we'll opt out of lease renewals.
5. And NO ONE wants to be in DC in November, but PC requires that they blame it on the Wuhan, not the leftist, Marxist, racist rioters who will again destroy DC after Trump is reelected.

I expect to see plywood back up come late October, only over existing glass window, not broken ones. Count on it.
