More directly with commercial real estate, WeWork is almost certainly going belly up after Softbank pulled out of its bailout. It's the largest office space lessee in New York and I would imagine in most other US real estate markets as well; its implosion will not look pretty.

And combine that with the fact that, even the overall economy aside, at least certain types of companies will slow real estate growth. I certainly don't believe that lots of companies are going to go fully remote. But I do think, based on talking to people, that at least some level of WFH is becoming normed. And one result (depending upon what floor plan changes companies make) is that there may be fewer dedicated desk/offices.
