Not saying it's not that, but I've heard that it may be about ensuring a demand for office space. Without this artificial demand, owners would be forced to lower prices or sell. And that simply won't do.
- anyoneamous 3y agoMore than just office space, it is about the tax kick-backs that Amazon (and presumably their peers) have extracted from cities where their major offices are built. The cities offered the tax cuts or rebates to the company on the expectation that wealthy tech commuters would be forthcoming. Much like how Amazon has its cake and eats it via advertising revenue from its marketplace sellers, these companies have found a secondary revenue stream from their employees.
