OK, my title may be a bit incendiary… But I’ve about had it with the recent constant parade of articles calling for “return to the office” as a cure for everything. It’s almost like the Murdoch press has a vested interest? Anyway, we’re in a cost of living crisis and we’re calling to lump everyone with higher travel, and food costs all over again. So much for work life balance. If everyone does return to their offices will the press start running fluff articles about all the suburban cafes and restaurants that are suffering now that their local post-pandemic foot traffic is stuck back in the city?
Vacant shops… the commercial lot owners could always charge rent at what the market can bear.
Problem is lot owners borrowed to purchase or build a building that was obscenely overpriced due to lack of supply.
Gotta love how “efficient” the free market is hey
