Wouldn’t they be heavier if those buildings were full of people everyday? Insane way to try and guilt workers back into the office.
I like the implication that remote work has something to do with this, yes.
I guess the author's intent was something like "NY City is sinking because of heavy buildings and no one is even using those buildings, what a waste". Sort of like saying "he committed suicide by dropping a now useless grand piano on his head".
Lmao how is this even related to remote work. Sounds more like a climate change or infrastructure thing
Fortune mag has been coping and seething over remote work for years. The owners are probably heavily invesfed in commercial real estate.
Yeah if they're measuring sea level rise, it sounds like NYC has it better than most. New Orleans is losing almost a centimeter per year
Well you can make affordable housing with the emptying skyscrapers. It’s actually a better investment for company turning them into renting apartments for your employees to WFH
