Well, why would Pennsylvania do the smart thing when they can do the least efficient, costlier thing. Idgaf about all the small business owners in center city kicking up a fuss because they can't charge the office drones 20+ for a dry egg sandwich and crappy coffee anymore

they think everyone would be going to those restaurants again but the truth is that we're all so much poorer from inflation that we'd be packing our lunches anyway.

Cities need to be made to live in, not to be commuted into. This change will happen, over time, but the cities need to adapt.

That's what triggered me. I already started packing more and will patronize hrg businesses even less if they force us back.

Strawberry Square food is substantially worse than outside the city and more expensive. Even the taco bell has items $2 more than outside the city. No shit these businesses are struggling. They are charging $12+ for the cheapest option and it is usually shit quality.
