Employers forcing people back into the office.
This reads like manufacturing consent for return to office, and I’m not here for it. These CEOs can shove their shitty corporate real estate office parks up their collective asses. Figure out better ways to engage your workers that aren’t butt in chair for N hours straight, and turn that wasted real estate into living quarters for the massive numbers of houseless already. Ffs, get out of here with your boomer ass takes on work life.
"where homebuyers want to live" is so abstract you can practically taste the bullshit
“Dave works at a burger joint. Bunny posts pictures of fruit on Instagram. Their budget is $600 million.”
People realized living in the middle of nowhere sucks?
There was an article about how people who moved to Austin, TX felt cheated. Some planned to move back to the west coast, some were trapped by financial constraints. This was maybe last month that I read it. I feel bad for anyone who regrets their relocation.
Sucks to move somewhere and find out it’s the same cost but with rattlesnakes and tornadoes.
Don't forget the mostly privatized, predatory, power companies.
Especially when driving is the only way to get around..
Great! Everybody go back to your 2-kids 2-cars front yard suburb home! More comuting for everyone means we can all equally contribute to global warming! Good job folks!
I could see this going either way for emissions. On one hand people being forced to go into the office requires them to make a daily commute which adds emissions. On the other hand though people being able to work remotely encourages even more sprawl and car dependence for other every day tasks. If you start working remotely in the middle of nowhere you might be commuting less but driving further for other tasks.
Depends on the layout of housing outside big cities/suburbs. In my area, there are numerous villages where you can go the market at least once a week, get basic services without having to drive long distances.
Cool, that means home prices outside of major metros are going to start dropping right?
…right?
I want to live somewhere that has a roof, and at least one door and toilet. Preferably a window but that's negotiable.
