With many of the stock exchanges now having a Virtual Trading Floor including the NYSE how will that hurt ridership on Metro-North? I also heard that before 911 the World Trade Center had a vacancy problem because many of its workers were now working from home. <br />Decentralisation may become a key issue here. <br />Instaed of one huge phallic tower headquarters many companys make go to smaller regional service centers located in suberban neighborhoods were district managers dole out work for workers to drive thru and pick up there work. <br />I heard that some large Enginnering firms are doing just that like Sargent & Lundy. Railfan & Railroad has a very small central office and most of its editors work from home. Also the same with Penton Publishing. <br />The cost of maintaining a office headquaters is in the 10s of millions of dollers <br /> as well as the cost of Infrastructure in highways and parking garages. Perhaps <br />the goverment should pay people to stay home. <br /> <br />
