I think many businesses will move to a hybrid office/home model. Some will still need to be in the office.

My conversation with a commercial real estate broker last week was very instructive in that regard. He said all his clients in a major U.S. city were adamant about bringing all their employees back into the office.

1. First he insisted that they are doing this because they operate more efficiently that way.

2. Then he admitted that they are doing it only because they're paying exorbitant rents for office space, and simply don't want to be wasting that money.

3. Finally, he also admitted that every one of these clients is currently planning to eliminate at least 80% of their office space and have most of their staff work from home ... AFTER these current leases expire.

Read through those three items a couple of times, and I can assure you that the WSJ is peddling a line of bullsh!t from these employers right now.
