Reply to comment by Blecher_onthe_Hudson in Remote Work Is Costing Manhattan More Than $12 Billion a Year by Jahooodie

I’m aware, thank you. I don’t see where I suggested single-family suburbs, but I totally get how my comment implies that. Rather, it’s great to see the outer boroughs and JC thriving as opposed to a few Manhattan neighborhoods. Plenty of people still enjoy living in cities for residential and social reasons even if they don’t need to commute to a central business district for work.

Ah. That's kind of old news actually. In the late '90s there was a lot of breastbeating about Manhattan becoming unaffordable to the middle class. We now live in the result, the resurgence of JC, Brooklyn, Queens, and even the Bronx to some extent. I actually had a letter to the NYTimes published predicting exactly this.
