Isn't McKinsey the George Costanza of the real world so we should expect 1T of additional value added to office values?
I mean anecdotally, the NYC office is complaining they've switched to hot desking. I've never heard of anybody switching to hot desking because it was too empty... This is of course after previously the space-per-person has decreased.

And no, the “McKinsey is always wrong” meme is completely divorced from reality. They’re wrong a lot, sure, but they do put out a lot of very high quality work. It’s just HNers like to put software engineers on a pedestal above everyone else.

If you have 1000 people in 1000 sqft then that's 1ft/person. Still using 1000 sqft and you don't go from 8ft desks to 6ft desks because you're gathering too much empty space.
