Kind of hard to get people to want to come into the office when NY City is doing its best to become the San Francisco of the East. Give the workers the NY City of Rudy/Bloomberg and many more would come back (although it would still be unlikely to fully recover).

New York City had already been on the decline for nearly a century with a few brakes where it lurched along by a combination of propaganda, Wall Street money, tax slaves, and working commuters from elsewhere.

These cities no longer function as a center of civilization but instead are urban reservations, open-air prisons, insane asylums, and laboratories for experiments.

Who could not see this coming?

This explains the flood of “how remote work destroys your career” and other pro return to office articles, they are really about keeping office occupancy high.

This is something these dopes in business and government leadership positions should have thought about before they imposed those stupid lockdowns back in 2020.

Anyone who thought workers would ever need to return to urban offices after working from home for two weeks -- let alone two YEARS -- is a moron.

[FLT-bird]

Just about anybody who has any leverage is not going back to the office.

Ever.

Thank you Democrats and Authoritarians for FORCING us to learn that its not necessary to go to the office. Ultimately, your blue hellholes are going to suffer because of it.

That means the office buildings were overvalued to begin with, and deserve to have their valuations halved.
