Office people today can and are working together remotely. As reported, half the time of X-gens is now virtual. The need for a hard &quot;block&quot; of space and parking downtown to attract enterprise is old - unless you are into old fashioned real estate development for profit (the big A2 elephant). If the city of Ann Arbor has to grow to survive economically then it won't ever survive. If it can't sustain what made it attractive now then it won't ever be sustained later and will implode - again. Decay happened to most all major cities in 70's and was the impetus for mandated DDAs to attract money back to the undesirable cities. SPARK's own list proves the point.
