A lot of times, when people discuss the phenomenon of employers ending work-from-home and try to make their employees come back to the office, people say that the motivation is to raise real estate prices.

I don’t follow the logic at all. How would doing this benefit an employer in any way?

    If real estate value claims are bullshit, why are the same CEOs that praised the productivity increases, touted record breaking profits now force people to come to the office?

        My original reply was on topic too. The commentor said that anyone making a connection between coming to office and real estate values is just high. My response was that CEOs originally praised WFH. If productivity is not an issue it’s natural that people make a connection between being forced to come to the office and real estate values. And either the CEOs that reported higher productivity when WFH or people dismissing the said real estate connection are liars. How is this not on topic? Would you please care to point out?

          That makes no sense. Higher productivity can be true, AND return to office can have nothing to do with real estate values.
