I dunno, you're pinning your dismissal of the initial idea on 'those desks in the city centre will still be there' when it's entirely feasible they'll just reduce over time in-line with demand. In fact, we see that right now with the trend towards unallocated desking and flexible working, where desk numbers within the same floor space is being reduced in favour of deploying more collaboration spaces and allowing more staff to work away from the office in a manner than suits them. That's what that reduction in office density downtown looks like in practice.
Then your counter proposal depends on people being able to 'swap jobs' while handwaving away the complexity that would involve. Most knowledge worker roles aren't that fungible.
- Theodores 8y agoDoesn't sound like you grasp market economics as applied to rents in city centres. I also think you are the handwavy one here with negative overtones. You underestimate the ability of people to actually adapt and to do jobs with a little bit of training. You, up on your fungible high horse also seem to assume that everyone does some expert job like what you do and obviously can't be replaced. Have you even worked in a normal office and spoken to your co-workers that do things like sales, tech support, marketing and other things? Get a grip.
