Why the clickbait title? The article is called "HUD Plans to Move Operations From Washington to Virginia"

Because the more relevant part to most people is the fact that the NSF is being kicked out. Scientific American reported on it this way.

Years ago I read about how Norway was redistributing agencies out of Oslo and into other cities across the country. This felt like it made intuitive sense, as you'd maybe get to distribute jobs to other localities and break up the concentration of bureaucracy. I haven't read about the outcomes, but I've always wondered what could happen if the DC area did the same.

I'm not sure the current status, but during Trump I, they moved USDA research from Washington, DC to Kansas City.
