Nearly four years after the start of the pandemic, downtowns are still short of office workers and foot traffic. That’s contributing to significant budget problems in some cities.

- Downtowns across the country continue to be emptier than before the pandemic. The loss of activity is hurting cities’ finances.
- Transit agencies are particularly hard hit.
- Cities are looking for ideas for revitalizing downtowns, but no easy solution will work everywhere
