minus-squarezante@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·10 hours agoI wrote 2 or 3 years ago, but it’s worth re stating : The banks have explained to government who have explained to CEOs about the risk of a the real estate market collapsing. Very simply : No one needs offices any more everyone sells them oversupply! price goes down, bigly lots mortgages underwater, commercial real estate collapse banks lose lots of money, but wait ! Worker don’t need to live near office sell apartments, move to the country over supply ! Price go down , repeat above Banks are rinsed, full on crises a la 2008 I guarantee you 💯 every CEO would love to remove facilities costs from their balance sheet and put that money in their pocket. But they’ve had a tap on the shoulder. Remembered , Many of these companies built and sold the tools for remote work 🤪
