Want employees to return to the office? Then give each one an office

If they previously worked in some expensive city like San Fransisco and had in writing that their work from home arrangement was permanent they could move to a forest somewhere with negligible housing costs and still come out ahead.

Although most people don't work in San Francisco with inflated salaries so I'd still rather not make this the norm.

It's worse than that, I didn't just gain space and scenery. I went up an entire socioeconomic class.

Previously I was priced out of the housing market, renting a small basement suite.

Now I own a large detached home, and thanks to the rental suite, spending less each month than I did before.

And this is all before you consider the equity myself and my tenant have paid down, or even any home appreciation. It's effectively doubled my TC since I moved.
