Description

D.C. could be “ground zero” for office distress, AKA expensive downtown office buildings sitting unused and empty. And It could have big impacts for all of us, because D.C. relies on office taxes for revenue. So if office values go down, we’ve got a big problem. Emily Wishingrad, reporter at BisNow, has been covering the story of what D.C.’s office distress means for the city. 
Check out more of Emily’s comprehensive reporting on this topic.

City Cast is the daily, local audio companion you knew DC needed. Washingtonians are gritty, proud, and resilient — necessary qualities for a community facing issues that range from an affordability crisis to the fight for statehood to the movement for racial justice… and useful qualities for a region full of whip-smart people, dynamic culture, and constant change. Washingtonians are deeply passionate about our city, whose story is still being written, and City Cast DC is here to tell it. Every weekday morning, our hosts Michael Schaffer and Bridget Todd will engage people from all over the eight wards in conversation about DC’s crises and its beauty, both literal and figurative. It’ll have the feel of eavesdropping on an energetic and informative coffee shop chat, except that with City Cast DC, consider this your official invitation to listen in.
