If you want to be the future, however, you need to welcome development, progress, and generally, change. Unlike SF today

Folks leaving SF because there's no point in staying there while working from home are entirely right. Yet, the take "cities are over" is greatly exaggerated. Cities will be booming again in a few years. Urban living remains the future, even in an age of increasingly remote work

Just think of how awesome cities would be if 20-30% of people didn’t commute long distances into work and instead had walkable / bikeable needs within 15 mins.

Los Angeles, for example. You remove the commute piece, build some more housing, and it’s a damn good place to just be outside and enjoy your neighborhood.

Yah this is the balanced narrative. You know everyone on Twitter is just playing their sides of course because it's something to do in the pandemic. It's all the same Earth anyway.

Humans were nomadic for the past 300,000 years. Sedentary lifeways are new. Wealthy people are nomadic (spend months in different homes based on season.) Large cities will decline in favor of resort towns and mobility.

Cities have a future but much smaller and for temporary usage only. Like in the past before working is large factories was the norm

Agreed - nothing makes me love NYC more than being out in the burbs.

Cities are the future in civilized countries. But what happens if American cities all end up like Detroit or Baltimore? Are people really going to want to live in places like that?

So long as the reinforcing relationship between population density and opportunity density remains intact, cities will continue to flourish. Old money usually flees, but new money is always produced by new mysteries coming to light.
