I want to loop this back to something discussed on HN before. During lockdown, some optimistic WFHers were saying that the transition to WFH would up-end rental markets in city centres, as employees flood out of cities since they've been allowed to work remotely and won't pay a premium for a commutable home. Well it's looking more and more like that effect is going to be almost impossible to measure in comparison to the massive recession coming. Rents are going to drop because shops are going bankrupt, those areas are going to try to find new rentals, convert to offices or housing and that'll drive down prices.
