As telecommuting becomes more popular and work schedules more flexible, workers may have the opportunity to live in places other than where their office is located.  However, despite recent rapid technological innovations, face-to-face interactions remain invaluable to businesses.  The importance of cities has not diminished as technology improves.  If a creative class worker chose to settle in a declining city to enjoy, for instance, the lower cost of living, they would still need access to regular flights or train departures to economic centers such as New York, Los Angeles, London or Beijing.
