“The Trump administration effectively condemned the downtown Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), portraying it as unfit for federal workers. HUD Secretary Scott Turner announced: ‘It is time to turn the page on the Weaver Building and relocate to a new headquarters that prioritizes the well-being of HUD employees and properly reflects the passion and excellence of our team.’ HUD posted a video exposing the ramshackle condition of its existing headquarters in D.C. and touting its new much fancier offices in Alexandria, Virginia. The video took its title from Secretary Turner’s promise of ‘The New Golden Age of HUD.’ And if you believe HUD will have a Golden Age, I have some bridge in Brooklyn I will sell you at a fire sale price.” (12/08/25)
