[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cities threatening to get rid of tax breaks for companies if they don’t RTO, because apparently small businesses are suffering, downtowns are becoming ghost towns, CRE values are plummeting & public transportation is being crime-filled due to normies no longer taking it.[/quote]

Honestly, I am sick and tired if the FT WFH evangelists acting like these are not valid concerns. They are. Acting as if they are not is making the RTO worse. If you’re unwilling to meet halfway with hybrid, they’ll just make everyone come in all the time. The war path is over. People go back now.[/quote]

How about those of us who have large commute costs.  And time.  I can either work the two extra hours or commute with them.

+1. And I’m sorry if small businesses in YOUR particular downtown area are doing poorly. Guess what? My suburb’s mom & pop restaurants have been revitalized because of the increase in WFH/TW.

Both businesses contribute to their respective tax jurisdictions—so why is one more important than the other? (It’s not.)

And PS, if my employer were to force full time RTO, I would bring my lunch AND coffee from home. Not spending one thin dime in that area if that’s the case.

[b]Well, it's important to your employer, because they may lose tax breaks and other incentives if they don't RTO.  [/b]

Does this really need to be explained?

Also, downtown DC *is* more important that some tiny suburb 90 minutes away.  [/quote]
So? Do you have any idea how expensive corporate real estate is and for how many years they are locked in? They can dump the real estate.

And NO jurisdiction is dumb enough to drop corporate tax breaks, because guess what, in this area if Bowser is truly stupid enough to do that, guess who’s ready and willing to provide tax breaks to former DC based companies?[/quote]
