Thousands of Australian public sector staff will be allowed to permanently work from home following a "groundbreaking" union deal — but business lobby groups in one capital city say any move to follow suit at local level would be a "death knell" for CBD retail.
CBDs could go along with the revolutionary concept of making themselves liveable. Now I know that this is sci-fi but hear me out. Some people would like to live near CBDs because of the culture. More residents = more customers.
This is totally dumb, but it just re-clicked in my head that CBD stands for central business district. No wonder these places are so soulless; our inability to have liveable cities is even in the name we give these areas!
