		<description>Following up, my father once worked for a company that had a suite in New York with hotel rooms, office space, and a conference room.  Its employees used the space when they were in the city working on a transaction of some sort.  Lots of companies do transactions -- finance, accounting, advertising, etc. -- in New York.  

Manhattan housing units are being converted to &quot;corporate apartments&quot; for employees posted in New York for a time.  Those corporate owners are not buying such apartments in the suburbs, so there is no need for their workplaces to be located near commuter rail.

Soho blossomed with &quot;joint living work quarters&quot; for artists.  There is no reason why joint living work quarters would not work for other occupations.

The city&#039;s boom of the 1990s was aided by the inexpensive space available to entreprenuers in Midtown South.  More inexpensive space could mean more new companies.

About the only thing Downtown isn&#039;t good for is large corporate tenants whose executives live in the suburubs, but since they pay the most the Downtown property owners -- in addition to other subsidies -- want a new rail connection to Long Island.  But all these other market segments are available now.</description>

		<description>Again, most of the large companies that have located headquarters in Lower Manhattan over 50 years have demanded subsidies.

But there is an entreprenurial/expat business market there to served, but usually you cannot build for it because lenders require pre-leasing by credit tenants.  You had lots of offices of foreign firms and small companies in the Twin Towers, along with a couple of larger ones.  The first big lease at 7 WTC will be a beachhead for the U.S. offices of Chinese firms.

Silverstein had the insurance proceeds and will get the Liberty Bonds.  He should build and rent at what this market segment will bear.</description>
