Surprise: people do not enjoy working in Times Square office buildings. The Times is on it, and talked to some of the people forced to commute into New York City's hellish theme park, who said things like, "Everyone agreed, it's awful there. People would go well out of their way to avoid Times Square," and "the public realm is so unpleasant that we may at some point hit a tipping point, where companies won't take space in Times Square." The general consensus seems to be: abandon it to the tourists. [NYT; previously]
