Exactly. The cities with vibrant centers will just end up attracting a different type of folk. I’m not convinced that even when working from home I’d want to live anywhere other than Manhattan if I could choose. Unfortunately businesses that catered to the office population might take a hit (or they might not? Still not clear if the offices will just fill with different types of workers, not every job can be remote).

- ramraj07 5y agoExcept maybe the views, why would you want to live there? Any place in nyc not near trains sounds like a bad idea. My general metric of a good location is that there should be two independent lines walkable. Otherwise you’re gonna be in a world of misery at least once a week.
- alephnan 5y ago> Except maybe the views, why would you want to live there? I agree. And yet cost of renting / owning in Dumbo is higher than Manhattan and other places.
