-Virginia Thomas Scott Fischer has spent nearly 40 years of his 45-year career working at Coeur d’Alene-based Architects West Inc. In that time, he’s been involved with dozens of projects in North Idaho and Eastern Washington and rose to become president of the company’s board of directors. Now, Fischer is downsizing his responsibilities as he moves toward retirement within the next couple of years. As of May 2, Fischer, age 66, is working at Architects West part time. Fischer, the child of an Air Force sergeant, was born in Alaska before moving around the country as his father’s career dictated. In 1967, Fischer’s family moved to Coeur d’Alene. Except for the years he spent earning his architecture degree at the University of Idaho, he’s never left.

The day after Mayor Bill de Blasio’s announcement that New York would be back at “full strength’’ by July 1, with stores, offices and theaters reopening, Douglas Elliman agent Janna Raskopf woke up to 67 rental apartment inquiries in her inbox. And the volume has since remained steady, day after day.
In Raskopf’s 14-year career, she’s never seen a surge in rental demand like this.
“There’s almost like a panic amongst tenants,” Raskopf said. “I don’t know whether tenants thought they were going to have through the summer [to sign a lease], but I think a lot of people were like ‘Wait a second, I don’t live here, I need to have housing and I need to get it fast.’”
