I think it’s more of a result of absentee landlords building a real estate portfolio that they don’t really give a fuck about as building managers. They’re flipping these buildings just like houses were being flipped before the financial crisis. Having renters in there just complicates things. There’s a metro stop out here in northern Virginia that has a beautiful office building on top of it designed by a top architect and it’s _empty_. For at least a year now. And they’re building two more office buildings in the same location. They’re probably just all going to end up being managed by WeWork. The whole thing reeks of a bubble to me.
