WASHINGTON — A different kind of gridlock is headed to a key section of the nation’s capital.
DC Councilman Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) on Sunday warned his constituents in the Navy Yard area to brace for “major congestion” starting Monday, when thousands of naval employees begin returning to in-person work there.
“Requiring all in-person work without helping agencies plan = mess,” Allen wrote on X. “16,000+ employees all report in person. Expecting 8-10,000 cars, but have 4,473 parking spots.
“Avoid area if you can.”
Allen cited data from a memo he apparently received, though it’s not entirely clear from where it came.
President Trump, during his first day back in the White House, issued a memorandum demanding the heads of government agencies return their employees to in-person work “as soon as practicable.”
The Navy Yard, which is famous for its bustling nightlife scene, the Nationals Park baseball stadium and waterfront esplanades, is also home to the Washington Navy Yard administrative center for the US Navy.
Last week, Navy officials confirmed that about 17,000 employees at Washington Navy Yard were expected to return to in-person work starting Monday and warned that its parking options had been filled to capacity.
“By preparing in advance and working together, we can navigate the challenges ahead,” Capt. Ryan Gaul, commanding officer of NSA Washington, said in a statement. “Let’s all plan ahead, demonstrate patience and understanding, and support one another to ensure a successful start to the workweek."

I guess we’re just slow learners.
How about we take Trump’s plan to a full & final fix of this horribly BROKEN SYSTEM?
OUR KIDS & GRANDKIDS WILL THANK US!

>> Wonder what happens to the real estate market. Might just be quite a few unexpected sales when the frauds get taken off the payroll.
I believe that a decent proxy for the success of DOGE might be the inverse of DC and NoVA real estate prices.
