Office workers who are commuting out of town most of them ironically. But if its condos it may also be a lot of retired couples looking to downsize too - they may not be working at all. There is still the argument to be made that the jobs downtown do not pay enough to allow the people affordable wages to LIVE in those condos - those condos are NOT cheap - what jobs will they have downtown that will pay them the what.. 40-50 dollars an hour needed to live in these places..?
