[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]

People at home still spend money, just on different things. PR has us thinking that certain businesses are entitled to our money and that it is our duty to give it to them. The government needlessly luring people out of the house to enrich certain businesses is corruption and also happens to be anti-free market for those who care about that.[/quote]

The thing people miss about the economic reasons for an increased onsite presence in urban areas is that nobody is saying it is an individual employee's "duty" to prop up business, or is any individual being forced to give their money to any particular establishment.

You know what entity DOES have a duty to make sure the economy is sound, resilient and equitable?  The federal government does.  And they have ALWAYS accomplished this in part by adjusting incentives.  They consider it when deciding where to open public facilities in the first place, where and when to provide subsidies to private business, etc.  Deciding what their own policies are as they run the business of government also counts.  And they do these things, at least primarily, to keep the economy stable for all residents.  Sure it is influenced by special interest lobbying.  But the failure of CRE has ALREADY had an impact in the banking sector that affected almost everyone.

I'm in favor of a hybrid schedule with a small amount of onsite presence.  But I also understand and appreciate that the various interests the federal government in particular is uniquely trying to balance here is a lot more complex than people like to portray it.
