Boz...don't see how he could be talking about restrained local government spending. Ours spends plenty and keeps asking for more. Exploding population growth over the past decade has increased the need for services all the way around. That's where the report seems weird....sometimes it appears as if he's talking about conditions in the city of Washington, D.C. (which has experienced periods of population loss) and excluding what has been happening in the suburbs for years. Then he seems to reverse and be talking about the whole metro area. And I can assure that writer that long-term investments in real estate will almost ALWAYS serve the owner better than short-term investments.
