Employers forcing people back into the office.
This reads like manufacturing consent for return to office, and I’m not here for it. These CEOs can shove their shitty corporate real estate office parks up their collective asses. Figure out better ways to engage your workers that aren’t butt in chair for N hours straight, and turn that wasted real estate into living quarters for the massive numbers of houseless already. Ffs, get out of here with your boomer ass takes on work life.
“where homebuyers want to live” is so abstract you can practically taste the bullshit
People realized living in the middle of nowhere sucks?
Especially when driving is the only way to get around…
Great! Everybody go back to your 2-kids 2-cars front yard suburb home! More comuting for everyone means we can all equally contribute to global warming! Good job folks!
I could see this going either way for emissions. On one hand people being forced to go into the office requires them to make a daily commute which adds emissions. On the other hand though people being able to work remotely encourages even more sprawl and car dependence for other every day tasks. If you start working remotely in the middle of nowhere you might be commuting less but driving further for other tasks.
Depends on the layout of housing outside big cities/suburbs. In my area, there are numerous villages where you can go the market at least once a week, get basic services without having to drive long distances.
Cool, that means home prices outside of major metros are going to start dropping right?
…right?
