my neighborhood used to be quite during the work day since most people were in the loop for the 9-5 job, now the loop is quite during the work day and my neighborhood is bustling all day every day
This is overly simplistic

Commercial properties generate TONS more traffic to local businesses and revenue for cities than residential does.

This is a major financial loss for the city and downtown. It will never be the same. Let’s not deny reality
