Yeah I don't see it either, but I do think work-from-home makes a big difference. maybe even more so than cost of living. You have tens of thousands of people who used to be downtown every weekday anyway, so no doubt many chose to stay downtown for dinner or just stay late at the office and then head to a game. Now those people never leave their living room and don't wanna be bothered to drive all the way downtown and find parking. Kinda sad that we're devolving into a society of people who never leave the couch and just stare at a screen all day and night.
