[ryderann]

All democrat?

[Fai Mao]

I hope Austin crashes and burns.

[Nifster]

SF rates make it near impossible to do business there

[FreeReign]

I actually thought the vacancy rates were higher.

I would guess many of the non vacant office space is still pretty empty with people working from home.

[Jim W N]

What city(s) AREN’T Democrat because for some reason, the Left takes them all over?

[Bonemaker]

Same ones with the most vacant brains.

[Hodar]

Telworking and technology killed much of the demand for commercial offices. TeamCenter, Zoom, and other virtual office work combined with AI will destroy much of the need for people to go into work

Already much of your IT support, reservation call center and sales centers are routed to people’s homes. No commute, no office heating/cooling. No need for food services, janitorial of utilities.

Is it better? Some yes; some no.

There is nothing Liberals cannot destroy. Prosperity and drive to do better is among the first sacrifices

[Alberta's Child]

If the space is leased it is considered occupied — even if the company occupying it hasn’t had anyone working there for more than three years.

These vacancy rates are likely to escalate rapidly as more and more leases come up for renewal.

[EEGator]

Wait until more leases expire.

Or they just quit paying like in SF.

[Paladin2]

NYC has FIVE[5] Burroughs [NYS Counties].

Y nought [Y₀] include all office vacencies in the City in one bar on the graph?

[FreeReign]

Yup. These numbers will only get worse,

[Golden Eagle]

The plan is to fill the big cities with immigrants, causing them to collapse, which will push the liberal Americans now living there out into the red states/counties, to make them purple.

Excellent point. Just like the interest on the national debt is set to explode, as soon as all those T-bills that were bought at low interest rates expire over the next couple of years.

Yup. NYC for example still has a lot of buildings going up. Many of those buildings are hotels in the outer boroughs.

Who the heck would travel to NYC and stay in a hotel in the outer boroughs?

As you say, they will be future homes for immigrants, built with our inflated dollars, BTW.

[Golden Eagle]

Where they will be given drivers licenses, and the ability (not right) to vote.

Even the vacant office space will house them, according to some I’ve heard.

[T.B. Yoits]

The World Trade Center in New York City is owned by a government agency of New York and New Jersey. That agency just got approval to use office space as low income housing:

Make no mistake. This government agency is aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders; if not housing them directly, adding government owned units for American low-income residents while freeing up housing for the invaders.

[matthew fuller]

Anustin has a rip-roaring growth in homeless camps, however!

[jonrick46]

Why aren’t these self-righteous sanctuary cities using these empty office spaces for the homeless border jumpers?

[ConservativeMind]

One company I know is dropping the lease on half of its buildings, across multiple cities, within two years.
