Hmm. Despite that there still a very small percent of all office space. I see 26 locations in NYC, I’m sure I’m missing a few so say 30.

Even if all those offices were the whole building (I think many (most) are just a subset of the floors that’s not much for the entire city.

Although it’d be interesting for all the people working in them, I wonder how that’d work out.

If wework folds, owners of the buildings might just market leases to the existing tenants

I should create a business to facilitate the transition from WeWork to leases, for the landlords. In 2 months I’ll be an intermediary worth... about 2bn.

I’m joking, I’m sure the CEO already has a reversion clause in the lease contracts, that leases should fall in the hands of his 3rd company in case of WeWork bankruptcy.
