Cause and Effect Essay Introduction Paragraph
Every
weekday
morning
at
8:45,
millions
of
Americans
step
into
elevators
bound
for
offices
that
no
longer
need
them
.
The
rise
of
remote
work
,
accelerated
by
the
pandemic
,
has
reshaped
not
only
how
employees
spend
their
hours
but
also
the
economic
life
of
the
cities
they
left
behind
.
As
companies
embraced
hybrid
schedules
and
workers
traded
commutes
for
home
offices
,
downtown
retail
sales
fell
,
commercial
real
estate
vacancies
climbed
,
and
tax
revenues
in
major
metropolitan
areas
contracted
.
This
essay
examines
how
the
widespread
shift
to
remote
work
has
caused
a
measurable
decline
in
urban
commercial
activity
,
and
in
turn
,
how
that
decline
has
forced
city
governments
to
rethink
their
budgets
,
transit
systems
,
and
public
spaces
.
Understanding
these
causal
chains
matters
because
the
office
tower
is
no
longer
the
anchor
of
American
urban
life
,
and
the
policies
cities
adopt
now
will
determine
whether
their
downtowns
evolve
or
empty
out
.
