I have mixed opinions about the FBI HQ continuing to remain on PA Ave. Moving the headquarters to Springfield or Greenbelt would contribute to sprawl and encourage more people to drive to the facility than its current location near several metro lines. Additionally, having several thousand well-paid FBI employees contributes to local businesses and DC tax revenue (restaurant taxes, hotel taxes, etc...).

On the other hand, Pennsylvania Avenue is a largely lifeless stretch and mostly vacant outside of business hours. Additionally, having residential or commercial office space here would contribute property taxes.
