My work life for the past few years has been a constant effort to not work downtown. I don't want to live or work there. It is a miserable concrete hellscape. Dirty, unkempt, infested with beggars and other indigents. The concept of a legitimate grocery store is something that has not existed there for decades. This is all fine if you can survive off of craft beer, gourmet cupcakes, and takeaway for the rest of your life. But the city keeps making sweetheart tax deals for desirable employers. And I keep getting the news "We are moving the office downtown! Isn't that great!" It's great for somebody, but not the average working stiff.
