隔壁的空办公室
When Maya started working from home three years ago, she thought her street would stay busy.
Now, on her morning walk, she counts seven empty offices above the shops.
The bakery still opens at six, but the coffee shop beside it closed last winter.
Maya misses buying a warm drink before her first meeting.
Most of her old colleagues moved away, because they could work from any city.
Their company saved money on rent, so it gave up two floors of its building.
However, the town is not dying completely.
A small library opened in an old office last month, and young families are moving in for the lower rents.
Maya likes this change, though she knows the town will never look the same.
On Fridays she meets friends in a shared workspace, where they talk about the quiet streets and the new neighbours.
She believes remote work brings both losses and chances, and she wants her town to choose the second one.
