Nearly everybody I work with who worked downtown in the past says they'd only go back if they had no choice.
During our temporary relocation last month, even some of the people who lived closer to the temporary suburban office couldn't wait to get back our downtown office. Although some people like the ability to park their car, they preferred the ability to have a variety of lunch options and more inspiring views than their car in the oceanic parking lot.

I really hope this development or the potential new residential density bonus rule spurs adding residential components to developments and redevelopment along urban corridors in the core.
