At least the sector is getting a boost from mandatory return-to-work. Not exactly sure how companies being in "expansion mode" when it comes to office space aligns with "LLMs are coming for white-collar jobs," but that's why I make the no bucks.

man i just don't get it at all. As this article mentions, the oversupply problem actually predates the COVID-19 pandemic, so I don't know why city and state leaders think that mandatory RTO will save downtowns. They need to cut their losses and admit that working in an office is an outdated concept.

So far as I'm concerned, the banks and adjacent vultures deserve a fucking haircut on commercial properties after what they did to homeowners during the Great Recession.
