Other cities like San Francisco is so woke that they refuse to arrest criminals. Separate issue. I bet Atlanta and Charlotte are both back to normal but will have to check the vacancy tree rate of their office buildings. Texas and Florida are thriving as we know.
I live here in Charlotte. The Banks are hybrid 2 days a week for most low level employees. They are 100% remote for more senior employees/contractors and those who have skills they really need which are in short supply.
Whether they like it or not, that’s the reality in the marketplace now.
