RE: Are Cities Dead?

I don't think this is just a US city thing either. Lots of people with families in London who had to work from home decided to do that permanently as they realise they don't need an office to go to to work in.

Especially with our stamp duty "holiday" (where the tax on property up to £500k), a lot have used the opportunity to move out of the city and into the countryside. I don't have exact figures but there was a lot of news articles about this.

9/10 people say they won't go back to working in an office as technology helps remote working.

I agree that it is likely happening all over the world. My view is US based obviously, so I can speak from there. But I dont think it is unique.

My assessment is the same as yours, I dont think most will return to an office once they get comfortable with the work from home idea.

There are a lot of advantages to it.

Yeah definitely! I prefer the 1 metre commute vs 1 hour for a start! Feel like there is less stress with that but there's still plenty of stress that builds up in a working day but at least one less thing to worry about is the commute
