Is it feasible for DC to take the La Defense approach and find an area of Southeast away from major flight paths and sight lines, where highrises could be built and transit expanded? Moscow has already taken this approach with its International Business Center.

Rosslyn already acts sorta like La Defense given its prominent position at the end of the Mall, but as was already mentioned, DC doesn't get any of that tax revenue, and the building heights are strictly capped by the FAA because of the approaches to Reagan.
