Landlords in Manhattan are pleading with companies to bring workers back into their offices, saying that restaurants and shops in commercial districts are in danger of going under while people work from home.
Meanwhile moving companies in New York say they are so busy they are turning customers away.
Property owners and managers have been quietly pressing top employers including Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and BlackRock to return their workers to downtown offices, casting it as a civic obligation, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

Im on lake Norman and there coming
I’ve been working from home (I work for banks) for months. I’m able to do my work just fine. I hope lots of companies realize they don’t need all that expensive office space nor to subject their employees to lengthy commutes to city centers. Working from home is so much better and cheaper both for me and for the bank.
As long as they stay at least a hundred miles from Mahalasville, Indiana, I don’t much care what they do.
Antifa and BLM will own the hellhole soon...
BLM, antifa and deblasio thought they could steal the jewel that was New York City ... but they couldn’t - instead turning it into a hard rock stinky hellhole...
Beautiful place, just looked it up.
Hmmmn. Simbra’s and Simbro’s o’ de Hood?
Take it up with the Mayor you voted for twice.
And there go all the taxpayers. The city and state are going to swim in a pool of red ink. And about those state guaranteed pensions....
Ah yes, but then again, in anticipation of this, DeBlasio and Cuomo did a neat job killing many tens of thousands of pensioners early, of the people MOST DRAINING their pension funds and driving up their health care costs in those big-city-union-staffed nursing homes and retirement centers.
No can do. Covid doncha-no.
And that ‘sliming down’ was conscious slaughter in slow motion. Evil resides in New Yawk state and city. No wonder folks are leaving that hell hole.
Yes, now a couple of the surrounding towns have hotels for people to stay - though there really isn’t all that much business that requires hotels there. There are some by the airport as well (but I don’t believe those are near dangerous residential areas).
A lot of those young people started flocking to the NJ side of the Hudson River (Hoboken/Weehawken/Jersey City’s “Gold Coast”); the costs drove many of them out before the wilding savages.
Rich old farts took over most of Manhattan and major parts of Brooklyn, but that’s just the 6th borrough over in NJ—has been on a steady gentrification climb for over 30 years now.
There has been some push-back, as shown by that Jersey City shooting in the kosher store; I didn’t even know people were trying to move there from Brooklyn (it isn’t a nice area - yet).
