Ayala, SM, Megaworld and Robinsons are making walled gardens so-to-speak to keep the high value office staff of their tenants isolated from late night crime. This also helps their mall tenants get a more captive retail audience, which would then allow them to charge higher rent. It is a bit cynical but it is a solution all the same.

Can the industry do something against this? I pity the young professionals whose graveyard shifts means going home in blinding daylight only to be robbed of their honest day's...err, night's?...income. Nonetheless, they make the city hum.
