Correct, but where's all that trillion dollar commercial real estate going ?
Cities don't have much of a reason to exist, at least not in their current form, with WFH.
- distances 4y ago> Cities don't have much of a reason to exist, at least not in their current form, with WFH. Are you assuming people would rather live in suburbs and countryside then? I would definitely still live in the city, and my first thought of offices closing was "great, more space for residential buildings".
- 999900000999 4y agoNot everyone, but you'd have less of a reason to consolidate so many people in a relatively small space. It's much much cheaper to live outside of major cities. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, office buildings are a massive source of tax revenue for cities. This is the entire reason you have this push to bring everyone back.
- osigurdson 4y ago>> Cities don't have much of a reason to exist... Ideally, people should be able to live where they want to. If that is in a city, great, otherwise they can live elsewhere and work from home. I don't see any great benefit in forcing people to live where they do not want to be.
