[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love WFH more than anyone, but there’s no question that RTO is much better for the local economy. Lunches, metro rides, parking fees, dry cleaners, etc. [/quote]

Money that federal workers have to pay out of pocket now. When I worked in DC I brought my own lunch and used dry cleaners near my home. The only thing they will get money on is Metro fees and parking. [/quote]
And that’s you. But objectively nobody can deny that more goods and services will get moved if people are in the office. Economies grow when money changed hands. [/quote]

What makes you think WFH means people are not spending money? I spend the same money except in my neighborhood instead of downtown. I get my coffee at the independent coffeshop down the street instead of starbucks. I get last minute groceries at the corner store. I get my prescriptions at the local CVS. My spending has not changed. [/quote]

Yeah but Bowser doesn’t care about that. This is all about DC’s economy. Bowser has been begging Biden to force federal workers to come back.[/quote]

Then the solution is to have people come back but offer extremely flexible hours to offset the commute.  If commuting is necessary to sustain cities, the 9 hour workday plus 1 hour commute is unsustainable for families.  They need to figure something out other than people (women) dropping out of the workforce, and others (men) going for high paying private sector jobs with no life balance.[/quote]
