This kind of delusion doesn’t win any votes.

This is a result of work from home. It’s not a result of anything from Biden. Tradespeople can’t work from home because they are out doing repairs. But they also were never sitting in an office.

Largely, this is a result of the internet, which predates Biden.

Yes, and all those businesses that moved out of the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, and out of NYC, and out of San Francisco moved out because of the internet.. Nothing to do with democrat policies and the decline of urban society.

“This is a result of work from home” I agree with you. On the other hand, work from home wasn’t really happening on any scale until the government forced shutdowns. People and companies realized there was no need to have expensive office space in cities. Their workers liked sitting on the back porch with a laptop and they weren’t going back to the two-hour commute through dangerous neighborhoods. The shutdown accelerated the trend away from needing office space. Without the shutdown the need for office space might have declined more gradually and had less of an impact on retail space. There would have been more time for the market to adjust.

What’s the difference between working from home in Atlanta GA and Merida, Venezuela?
Local radio station had a spot about hiring in Venezuela for about $5.19/hr.

And you’re further right insofar as the state of emergency and lockdowns were of course originally implemented under Trump, not Biden, with the Operation Warpspeed jabs making it all worse.

No, but inflationary pressures and unbounded money supply will run up costs so even more high rise clients will abandon space. More abandoned space equals mortgage problems, defaults and messed up bank portfolios, reserve issues and collapses. Cores of cities will in fact be cored out.

A HUGE adjustment is coming due to bidenville and it AINT going to be pretty.

The obamanites have one goal, the destruction of America.

The people are waking up to it.

Especially with the weaponization of government agencies against President Trump. That’s turd world operations here in the US.

I think you are mostly correct. However, the violence in cities is causing some employers to switch to work-from-home for all or some of their employees. Baltimore is a prime example.

Agreed.

The smart thing to do would be to start converting some of those unused office buildings into apartments or dormitories.

Same with shopping malls, which could be turned into self-contained neighborhoods. Those would be especially nice for retirement communities.
