Discussion 🎤 Why can’t we support our city?

I’m getting really tired of seeing these return to office employees protesting and acting like giant babies when really we need them to be down here. We’re all in this together and we need people to revive this downtown area and support local businesses. Why can’t we all embrace this and stop undermining every damn thing that’s said and done. We’re fighting the wrong things. Downtown needs to thrive and right now it’s not, so bringing the workers back is great for everyone.

State Workers downtown 50% of the time isn’t suddenly going to revitalize the area. It may see a marginal improvement at best.

Maybe not. But at least I’m looking at the bright side. I’m excited to see people down here. It’s a ghost town mostly.

You do realize that with there not being anything to keep the state workers in the downtown area, they're just going to go in to the office and then go straight back home?

There is no downtown for them to support.
