The state gives them tax breaks if they force people to go to the office because they contribute to local businesses in downtown. This is an incredibly short term decision of course, what would be a lot more beneficial would be to push for remote work and let local businesses develop all around the city in residential neighbourhoods, which would after a while lower CoL everywhere, while still having the same amount of money spent, just spent more equitably geographically speaking. But of course when your political term lasts 4 years, you don't give a single fuck about all that, you care about your next election.
