what exactly is going to fill those spaces is my question, more overpriced office buildings after people have been working remote for most of the year?

obviously no one has it figured out and obviously there's some big questions we're all asking each other at the same time.one of those questions is decidedly not "how will victoria's secret survive"

Street closings are routinely disregarded from what I’ve seen. Some people get uppity and try to close them off again after the barricades have been moved but a minute later some other douche with a car comes and decides that the closure is not applicable to him so he moves the barricades ...and so forth
― ncxkd, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 21:31 (three years ago) link
yeah I'm pretty aggro about setting them back up in my area but it's gotten to the point where I can really only worry about my section of the world. setting barricades back up in deep carrol gardens is disheartening

Update: "Ventilation Action Teams are comprised of licensed professional engineers who are analyzing building ventilation components to determine if they are functioning and what, if any, repairs must be made," DOE spokesperson Nathaniel Styer said in a statement. "This includes a 'tissue test' which is a CDC recommended way of determining airflow. Air quality tests will be conducted with certified CO2 readers. The Council Member should reach out to us with his concerns before jumping to conclusions on the internet."

IOW, yes we use toilet paper to test ventilation and we are proud of it
