It’s just senseless. Our office is tight on space and we wind up hosting most meetings on Zoom anyway because conference rooms are now offices.

I have observed that most executives in my company (late 40s-60s, mostly white, mostly males) seem to prefer their giant offices to their distracting home environment. Not to mention the weird “rag on my spouse” culture that comes with middle/late age Americans - this gets them out of the house.

But for someone like me who doesn’t have kids and I actually like my partner? It’s a waste of time and money to commute into town. And I’m less productive because now I have distractions! Because I also don’t have a spacious and isolated office! Just so our of touch.

It absolutely is. There will be lots of people on the trail as well as several pleasure boats tied up along the wharf. But if you're uncomfortable at any point, you can just walk along the sidewalk on North Shore Drive. And if you're really tuckered out, there are also pedicabs that run between PNC and the casino.

Sorry, based on the downvotes I was clearly misconstrued and it's my own fault. I love this project, I'm proud that my taxes are being spent on it, and I can't wait to use it. It just seems to lack the overall vision compared to the Brilliant Branch Bridge project, whose proponents make a clear case about why it should be reconstructed and what they envision will be improved by doing it.
