nice
McKinsey expects landlords to do real people work and innovate?
Have they met landlords?
Converting such buildings to affordable housing would be a great start.
Well the report is from McKinsey so take it with an office building sized grain of salt.
Working from home could create massive value for people that matter while forcing a bunch of people who don't matter to accept lesser status symbol items like smaller yachts and less splendorous vacations that they wont be able to feel as proud as they are bragging to their friends.
I don't think the various stakeholders will allow it to happen in any significant way (see the article), but I've been hoping for an office rent crunch for a while.
I've always wanted a dedicated home theater that's just big enough for me and maybe 1 or 2 others. Upsizing my current living situation isn't feasible, but I could make a wee little 150 or 200 sq. ft. office space work!
Oh nooooo. Anyways.
Won't someone think of the real estate profits!
Good. Bring back the small town.
Nice
NMP.
Maybe they should have built buildings that could be easily converted to residential or maybe they should have not signed 20 year lease or whatever. IDGAF NMP IDC FU.
Too bad, how sad. Turn it into housing.
