I think it's a bi-partisan issue of just kicking the can down the road.

I've got to agree with you here. I have worked for two state governments (Texas and Maryland) and lived in several other cities where I made use of municipal or state facilities for one reason or another. None of these locales maintained government facilities at anything near the same level that would probably prevail with a private landlord. These government entities definitely tend to "kick the can down the road". Liberal Maryland was just as derelict as conservative Texas in this regard. The DC municipal government was probably the worst offender. Their municipal buildings were (1990s) disgusting.
