Introduction

As I have been arguing that strengthening downtown Central Social District (CSD) venues is the best strategy for assuring the survival of our largest downtowns as the strength of their office workforces, retail occupancy, and tourism may significantly diminish post crisis, it is incumbent on me to establish that these venues will emerge from the crisis strong enough to do the job.  The data dustup caused by the pandemic is clearing sufficiently to meaningfully explore the strengths of these venues as we emerge from this crisis. While the analysis that follows cannot predict with certainty what will happen, it can hopefully present reasonable, evidence-based arguments about where things seem to be heading. These are the types of best-evidence-available, subjective probability judgments you and I, as well as business and government leaders, make every day.
