Work-from-home deal 'groundbreaking', but business groups warn of CBD 'death knell'

More likely that office block owners are the upset ones.
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!
How did those that are thriving adapt?
How about national or state programs/incentives to convert empty or under utilised CBD office spaces and buildings to affordable housing?

if the cbd dies so be it. i mean they will have to re-adapt. The CBD for me feels more touristy and more student life. i used to stay there over lockdown sure a lot of businesses have close down as well but those who adapted are thriving.
