This poor person is broken, clearly he has a rough time and is a defeatist.

I try to never hire defeatists into my companies and screen for them.

the pendelum will swing back and corporates will see that culture and office also matters.

Why do I care what this random guy thinks? Is this “old man yells at clouds” hour?

The author's context is too narrow, NYC will definitely be a different place going on, but that has been true for centuries.

Maybe, but sometimes change is permanent and cities lose their elevated status forever.

History is rife with examples.

You see this kind of reactionary pearl-clutching every day of the history of the human race. NYC will change, as will everywhere on Earth, it is not dead.

NYC is dead right now. The question is whether it will come back to life.

My hunch is yes, because it is still a good brand.
