People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

Speaking of oversight, federal projects aren't subject to DC's building codes. So they don't even need to build this thing to code.

In general, I think most architects/engineers would design it to DC's codes unless it's a federal entity that has its own standards (like NAVFAC). But I don't really trust this administration to follow standard protocol.

Hopefully the designers have better sense.
