[quote=Anonymous]"Fast forward to early 2020 (i.e., before the COVID-19 pandemic), cranes littered sections of Los Angeles, including booming neighborhoods near transit lines, as multi-unit apartment buildings were being constructed. Wealthy boomers and others were (supposedly) abandoning the suburbs, moving to Los Angeles (and other cities), and driving up real estate prices in and around transit-oriented developments.

But we live in a different world now because of COVID-19 and the uncertainty that has accompanied the global pandemic. Our new world is in the embryonic stages of development of what can seem like a dystopian film noir.

Already, developers are rethinking hotels and other projects. But, there is hope that the pandemic’s lasting effects may be somewhat muted by the reality of remote work. Working from home has been a brutal experience for those of us lucky enough to still have jobs and the ability to work remotely."

Lucky for the densifiers, the author believes that we will end up hating working from home so much that eventually people will return to the cities to be closer to work.[/quote]
