These are her reasons:

“The vibe is totally different. We can be more productive. People are getting to know each other. It’s just a lot more fun.”

Weigh that against individual autonomy of schedule, commuting cost/hassle, environmental impact and it’s a no brainer— the downtown office model is dead.

You can write those bad bets to zero boys, that money is gone.
