Downtown Boston is just as dead.
Wait 'till you see the demons our policymakers unleashed when the businesses who occupy all those business area towers decide that they no longer need to bring their employees into downtown.
Wait 'till the service businesses no longer have enough people to service.
Wait 'till the employees who live in the high rent district in or proximal to the cities find out that they can work from home and no longer need to live near their downtown (used to be) offices.
And as the cities fade into obsolescence what do they look like twenty years from now?
What will happen to their tax base?
These are thoughts pretty much unthinkable two months ago. Not so unthinkable now.
Thank you policymakers. Was the tradeoff worth it. I mean how many people were actually saved by these shutdown policies that wouldn't have been saved without the shutdowns? Do you really think the shutdowns helped the most vulnerable in the nursing homes? I don't.

this sentiment is shared by others in my neck of the woods. The Greater Toronto Housing bubble was on a cliff, it just needed a push
WHO pays for all this?
higher estate taxes? increased taxes on capital gains? go after real estate ? higher corp taxes? middles class is broke , politcal suicide.
obvously with new compliance laws running a business will have increased costs. Big corps will manage, of course, ....small businesses?
BUT we have health care guys running the show, all should be okay....
