More likely that office block owners are the upset ones.

if the cbd dies so be it. i mean they will have to re-adapt. The CBD for me feels more touristy and more student life. i used to stay there over lockdown sure a lot of businesses have close down as well but those who adapted are thriving.

CBDs could go along with the revolutionary concept of making themselves liveable. Now I know that this is sci-fi but hear me out. Some people would like to live near CBDs because of the culture. More residents = more customers.

This is totally dumb, but it just re-clicked in my head that CBD stands for central business district. No wonder these places are so soulless; our inability to have liveable cities is even in the name we give these areas!

How did those that are thriving adapt?

How about national or state programs/incentives to convert empty or under utilised CBD office spaces and buildings to affordable housing?
