Like the Amazon HQ2 process. It could be in Trump City, Kansas formally known as Kansas City, Kansas Yeah, the name trump city probably won’t fly maybe American City, Kansas but a second capital building with housing in the middle of the US is good idea Maybe build a new home for the chiefs and royals too with $ from cut federal programs from DOGE, probably no more than a couple of billion for everything so a drop in the bucket. The melt from DC swampers would be worth any price

He's mentioned scattering the departments from DC all over the country and decentralizing the power that way.

Inevitably DOGE is going to move some offices. I've been thinking about this. There's two general/over-simplified ways to go here. I'm not sure which one is the best practically or politically.

A) you could put them in these blue cities. In one sense, politically, Trump is saying "see, the R's didn't forget about you. We will govern you just like we do everybody with both the good and the bad, and we come with jobs without the snobs". There's more practical opportunity there in available real estate, labor pool, etc.

B) Build new buildings, if necessary, in small and/or mid-size towns. A small effort, even if token, to reverse urbanization which is a problem politically. It would likely have a huge impact on that community. It's 'safer' politically. Other than the building, there's plenty of places that can handle it with the other requirements (suitable land, airport, etc.). These agencies aren't building or producing anything. They are only redistributing taxpayer monies. So a road or utility infrastructure is much less a concern.

There is a LOT of empty commercial office space EVERYWHERE.

Don't build anything. We are $36T in debt.

I've lived in Kansas. Why would you want to do that to people?
