My wife moved around a lot as a kid. She went to like 7 different schools and was always the new kid. It was very important to her that we not do that to ours. She said she'll do whatever I want after the last one is out of the house.
There are some great accelerated learning programs out there, hint hint..

Telecommuting is nothing new. Just because a lot of people could do work from home during pandemic isn't some thing businesses is just going to start permanently doing. It was a way to do work. Not the BEST way.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Having a secure remote working network is almost mandatory these days. Businesses are very cost conscious and will sacrifice leased space for efficiency if it pass the bottom line.
Like I said, I think fragmentation of the workplace will be the trend moving forward. Why have a huge office downtown when you can have two satellite offices outside the city For a much lower cost?

Depends on the city. A lot of cities have those historic neighborhoods with the big wrap around porches and are usually pretty safe and convenient being in the heart of town but in its only little bubble.

I also agreed that the AP and the LP have pretty much become “cities” themselves now.
The flood slowed things down some but I remember when those areas had almost nothing in them.
I grew up in Central in the 80s and hardly recognize that place now.

I think you’re right in certain cases. For some industries, image is important, and being in the right ZIP Code matters. And there are some who flat out can’t do their work without person to person interaction. But I think those are the minority.
Commercial real estate will take a hit at the end of this pandemic. No doubt.

I’m pushing 40. I grew up poor in a village in rural Iowa. I have lived in 4/10 of America’s largest cities. I now have two kids, one about to start kindergarten—I’ve never once lived in a suburb and don’t have any intention of ever doing so. I could trade my 110 year old house for a brand new 5k ft McMansion with a $150k backyard, but my social quality of life would circle the drain within a year and I’d want to kill myself.

It's not like that for most of us. Versitility is a huge plus.

You must be talking about law offices or something. Because you can't be talking about big companies with hundreds or thousands of employees that relies on multiple levels of coordination and information sharing

Well shite. Just bought a house last month in the city. 2 bedrooms at well over $500k (not a brag, by the way. $500k gets you next to nothing here). Hoping to have kids in the near future. I suck at having foresight.
Another thing about having kids is that you will be surprised how good at it you will be, and you will be able to make adjustments as you go.
You won’t be upset you bought that house as long as you bought right (got a reasonable deal).

It’s not like there aren’t large companies already in suburbs...Chevron has a complex on the northshore that moved from Nola. Not a high rise, there is more space to spread out buildings in suburbs (I know I have already had to defend my position on “space” on this board )

White people will flee the cities even more now.

I agree. Living where you want and still being able to have a good paying job (that's potentially hundreds or thousands of miles away) is a great trend. It will also start to balance out the real estate market some.

I’ve always heard that and believe it to be true. I just don’t understand the math.
We have friends here who paid $3k/mo for daycare. After their second kid they moved to the burbs, but still...what the hell. That’s a hefty mortgage just for daycare.

Most are of which can easily be done remotely.

I can easily masturbate but it’s not as good as having sex.
Point being, just because a job CAN be done easily one way doesn’t mean it’s the best way to do it.

maybe more back office plebs/it/low level employees will work remotely but the people who actually matter will be staying put in their downtown offices for the long haul
