Another problem created by Obamacare
There are some chinese, Indians and Mexicans who would (will) be happy with what you have now, and for less pay.
Much, much less. And there are robots being designed and built right this minute who will not be paid at all.
Robot hamburger factory makes 360 Gourmet Burgers every hour...

Now show them Idiocracy and Being There.
How about raising taxes on the robots?
I bet they are not Obamacare compliment.
Using that robot loophole in Obamacare.
What crap. I never had 10x15 square feet of office space. Generally somewhere between 55-85 square feet, if that.
Bra-zil.....
$3.69 a dozen. I don’t buy them unless they are under $1.69.
I usually get them for 10 for $10 on special at one of the stores I frequent. They usually have the sale once a month. buy several dozen at a time.
Sometimes I ‘splurge’ on Egglands Best when they go on sale for$2. They sometimes have a $.75 coupon that is doubled and the eggs cost $.50.
This is another phase in office dynamics. Soon enough someone will reprise Henry Ford and realize that adequate space and light and air substantially improves worker performance. When employers begin to lose good people for better working conditions the current trend will reverse
Not explained:
Since February 2008, the size of the U.S. population has grown by 16.8 million people, but the number of full-time jobs has actually decreased by 140,000.
factories are factories. hosptials are factories and so are call centers.
That's about right with the size of the workplace units being supplied to most government workers (L-shaped desktop with one set of drawers for files and overhead storage). The bright side is that such units only allow so many workers in a set space....
I was more than happy in a 10x10 cubicle.
Yes this is true and a good thing for Dallas.
The high speed rail is going to shake up the game in a big way I predict. The North side of Houston will become an extension of Dallas I figure. North or West is the only way Houston can go. West isn’t that attractive. Dallas has just about swallowed up 75 north all the way to Sherman. The sprawl just seems to have no limits.
Right now there is a plague of wishful thinking in Houston. They are still breaking ground on new buildings.
I figure the next thing for Houston and New Orleans is opening up the Panama Canal to larger ships. Funny though, China imports may ease a little by then. I predict New Orleans will win the biggest part of that gain though because of river accesss but then again, you don’t see containers moving by barge. Mostly by train to the intermodal transport centers like the one on the south of Dallas.
This would drive me nuts. So thankful I don’t have to work in an office...except the nice ones I made for me.
They are treating people like animals. Ain’t globalism great?!
I represent tenants to lease office space and there’s a bit of a conundrum in the suburbs where you really need 5-6 parking spaces per 1000 SF leased (based on reducing SF per person) and many have 4 and some have less.
So....as a tenant you have to look at all the metrics when deciding how many square feet to take.
