So just what happens if people don’t come back to downtown? It’s a question that’s been asked with increasing urgency in recent weeks, especially in San Francisco, where the term “doom loop” has now been added to everyone’s vocabulary list.

On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we check in with local urban planning advocates and economists to get some perspective on how the Bay Area’s civic centers could be reshaped by the work-from-home revolution.  

Guests: 

• Jeff Bellisario, executive director, Bay Area Council Economic Institute
• Alicia John-Baptiste, CEO, SPUR
• Ted Egan, chief economist, San Francisco

Host: Keith Menconi
