Government rents costly office space in need of review
Congressional investigators say the GSA overpays for federal office space in Southern California and Washington. In Long Beach the Customs Service rents 28.77 per sq ft for a 5000 sq ft space, while private rents run 16.50. In D C the Justice Department pays 46.85 per sq ft, about 20 percent above private rates. Audits and renegotiations could save hundreds of millions. The Carter era policy of central business district offices raises costs and limits access for constituents. Rep. Steve Horn cites his own district office savings after moving near town center, with parking and lower rent.
