The highways were empty and I spent my time playing Vampire LARP in downtown Palo Alto , or talking with my friends about larping. There were no jobs anywhere and I almost moved out of state. However, I decided to stay and take the consequences. It worked out for me, but I occasionally see some people I knew from back in the day. They never bounced back.

How much could you get a liquidated Aeron chair for?
How long did it remain empty? Did real-estate prices crash?
Commercial yes, but housing no. Houses leveled off briefly. It meant that instead of having to make an offer 50% over asking and literally beg in a personal letter to the owners, you could make a 10% over offer and leave it to the agent.
