I think this is because the reason to get people to get back into office was to protect commercial real estate values.

I keep seeing people make this claim, but I never see any evidence to back it up. Large businesses usually lease their office space, so why should they care how much it is worth? And the ones that do own their buildings, probably aren’t planning to sell any time soon, so why should they care?

The whole thing just sounds like nonsense to me.
