In the end, when all is said and done, most people—urbanist by claim or not—are very self centered. To hell with what else is going on out there. As the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words.
A downtown that becomes just a sleepy residential enclave. Imagine the excitement!

Talk about it...if all these companies go remote, all these mid day restaurants would have little reason to stay open because their main clientele has gone extinct. We should be advocating for hybrid work, not 100% remote. And just outside of the urbanist world, people need social interaction with each other. The Loop is far from a ghost town like how it was March/April 2020 and has come back alive, but its not like it was pre 2020, lets not kid ourselves.
Another thing these delusional "nOtHiNg WrOnG wItH rEmOtE wOrK" people are missing is that this will harm support for public transit. Ridership for CTA is no where near it was pre-2020. Same with Manhattan/MTA. Politicians will think why support more funding for transit when less people are taking it and more people are driving?
Be careful what you wish for..
