I think that's a bit simplistic of a take on it. Washington D.C. suffered the same effects of suburbanization and urban decay that most northern cities did after 1950, I am sure the loss had nothing to do with the federal government shrinking. If anything this means that among those moving to the DC metro area during the past decade more of them are choosing to move to the District of Columbia itself as opposed to the suburbs than in previous decades.
