Things have shifted dramatically in just the past week (if it’s even been that long).
A week ago Monday: Postponed: the Urban Land Institute Advisory Panel I was to Chair in Sonoma County, California focused on strategies to enhance energy, economic and wildfire resilience in the aftermath of two devastating fire seasons.
Last Thursday and Friday: Investor meetings, truncated in light of the rapidly shifting response to COVID-19.
Yesterday: School cancelled and remote work is in full swing.
Today: Much of the Bay Area is now “sheltering in place” with NYC planning the same in 48 hours.
There is a lot of uncertainty. Businesses of all sizes, but especially small to medium ones, are wondering how they’ll survive. Property owners are wondering how those same tenants will be able to pay the rent. Parents who still have to work are trying to figure out how to do that while they’ve got kids in the next room or, worse, they have to leave them with someone because their job requires them to be there in person.
Tell me, how is it going in your world?
