> Many organizations have made pricey investments in office real estate, which has led to the creation of vast economic systems that are ultimately reliant on having workers at their desks.

At this point, it’s not really even about managers’ egos. It really is about the massive corporate real estate investments, and forcing everyone to pretend commuting to work is better so those investments don’t make a loss.

Preferring to commute to the office every day is fine on an individual level, but it’s the exception to the rule.

Corporations should off-load the real estate in dense urban cores and let developers convert those buildings to housing.

People say this is hard to do but I’m unsure of the reasons why. Is it possible the plumbing is vastly different between business and residential or is it just another zoning issues that makes no sense?
