[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH commutes to NY for work...things there are much more back to normal with the exception of midtown, which he said is about 25% capacity. But the businesses he serves are mostly back in person to some degree, and the young folks have all moved back.

DC meanwhile is a ghost town outside of a couple of nodes, and at most will be back to 50% maybe by the end of next year, with no sense of demand growth. [/quote]
I go downtown every day, you won't even find a single taxi anywhere. There is basically zero traffic downtown. Nearly all of the small businesses have closed, leaving behind only chains. Meanwhile, the neighborhoods all seem to be doing well. There is more traffic on Wisconsin than K Street. Hard to find parking on a weekend at the Wharf. A Whole Foods is about to open at the old Walter Reed.

Even more worrisome for downtown DC is that traffic in the suburbs is back to normal. 270, 66, the Beltway are all congested but those people are not going downtown.[/quote]
