The Downtown Doom Loop

After COVID, average downtown office occupancy is under 50 percent and about 25 percent for San Francisco and Washington DC. Within a city, the second tier Class B offices spaces are especially empty. Therefore, you have no people. And thus the small amount of retail that exists in these office areas is dying: the retail space on the ground floor is a nice feature, but the offices above are supposed to make the money.

Still, there's a strong push to 'return back to normal' & fill-up these offices. Or, do we need to accept the 'New Normal' and do something different?

Seems like an easy way to make virtual 3D Street View tour anywhere - well, assuming that Street View data exists.

Map of the Best

Seen on MapsMania: Map of the Best.

I like it - this web map simply shows you the best restaurents say in a given city. You can adjust the parameters to your liking, but this web map makes it really easy to find 'the best one' = the one you dine at when you visit for the first time.
