For the first time in many years, my 3-5 year plan is... foggy. No idea what's coming.

I know that my office is going entirely to the work from home with a tiny shared meeting room/flex space solution.
They just spent a year paying for a brand new office that was never used during difficult economic times.
I also know that I don't miss spending two hours of my day stuck in traffic; the problem is even worse in larger cities.
That said, I think that it's sad for downtown stores, bars and restaurants.
I suppose downtown now more than ever needs to focus on residential development and on home-growing neighbourhood customers.
