I don't buy this "WFH makes downtowns drug-ridden war zones" dichotomy. I've been to downtown Portland before Covid, and it was pretty repulsive, just like SF. Sure, it has deteriorated in both places since, but that was not pre-determined. WFH != war zone in downtown.

Your paraphrase is a strawman (melodramatic one at that). Nice job ripping it asunder to show us all how serious you are
