[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pandemic has made people very selfish. Using the reasoning in this thread, one could question almost any public/social expenditure. Why should old people pay taxes for your kid’s education? Why should today’s workers fund Social Security for old people? Why should US taxpayers pay for the defense of Ukraine? I hope people on this thread realize that their isolationist arguments are at the core of social disintegration. They may think that they’ve isolated themselves in a larger home in the distant suburbs, working from home visiting the local deli, but their retirement funds are still in the stock market and their neighborhood isn’t that far from a decaying city. We’re all more interconnected than most seem to realize. [/quote]

+1.  It’s a domino effect.

If commercial real estate collapses, that affects the entire economy.

It also highlights the laptop class’s  attitude.  Who gives a crap about those cities that are crime-ridden and full of homeless on the streets with shuddered businesses and buildings as their tax base has fled?  We’re good in the ‘burbs!  [/quote]

This would happen even if you made every single fed go in person every day. And this issue pre-dates the pandemic.

Basically CRE got greedy. And cities were happy to tax the results of that greed. But the costs were born by small and mid-sized businesses that are the backbone of the US economy. The pandemic just exposed the greed for what it is.

You cannot rationally take the position that businesses that already operate close to the bone should take on commercial leases they don’t need or want for charitable purposes. It makes no sense and your temper tantrum about how you are entitled to the rent they pay is not persuasive. [/quote]
