I just saw this article in Hemmings' Daily email. Looks like a big part of Ford's history is being demolished for a "walkable" campus. Back in my previous life, I visited the PDC on several occasions. I only saw a portion of it but it was quite a complex. Why not just leave it alone and modernize it? If so many people are working from home just leave it alone?

Ford is spending a lot of money on buildings lately. Makes me wonder if they should instead be focused on products. After all, that is what they sell. Here's a hint - if more people are walking they aren't buying cars!

Somewhere long ago I read a nice quote from someone who said basically - beware the company focusing too much on building fancy HQs and other buildings because they aren't focused on the company [[a paraphrase). See - Kmart, Sears, Chrysler, Steelcase, McLaren, the list goes on.
