  • In some cases, businesses got fat tax breaks on their campuses in exchange for the business that their workers would bring to the area, so cities are leaning on those businesses to end WFH, but that’s a band-aid of a fix if I ever saw one.

    I worry that this is the case for my office. It’s in a giant trendy building in a non-trendy (mildly sketchy) area and I think it’s on the list for gentrification. On top of this, there’s not enough housing and the area is pretty disconnected from other more populated areas. Public transit to get there is only slightly faster than walking from where I am (~40mins bus vs 1hr walk).

    I would love to see our downtown heal and build more housing, instead of trying to flip the next “up and coming” area of town.
