If you’re a homeowner, sure property tax would go up, but so does your equity.  (Also, higher property taxes often lead to better schools in the area, which again pumps up your house’s value/equity.)

Besides, only a minority of jobs in this country can even be done on your living room couch at all. Or do you really think that every job in this country consists of sitting around in a cubicle answering phone calls?

You could have linked to the actual study instead of the paywalled Bloomberg article about it:

Life is more important than work and when company CEO’s make the SAME PROFIT during “rough patches” but proceed to layoff thousands of workers (so they get their annual profit distribution) it illustrates how broken our system is.

Absolutely the fuck not. Hope this helps!

It’s an objective fact that *part* of the increased demand for Single Family Homes in 2020 was due to urban workers spreading out when they no longer had to commute into an office.

So the company is going to donate money to a charity if you come in.

No. If the job can be done from home, then there is no reason for anyone to go into the office.

lol how are those things even remotely related

Well, I live in a major metropolitan city and prices aren’t going down here either. So, stop blaming it on back to the office initiatives.

If there’s anything that is going to hurt real estate by people not coming back to the office, it’s retail real estate and some of these big office buildings that are just empty…

Going back to office is a dumb fucking idea to everyone except micro-managers and fragile-ego executives.

Boo fucking hoo. There’s no good reason to go back to office, and your real estate prices are especially not a good reason.

I would donate $10 a day to not come back to the office.

“RIP Business Cards” ahahahahhahahahhahha, omg can’t breathe/

This is definitely not VR, and I’d lean more heavily towards it being mixed reality, not just augmented reality. It seem that, like hololens, it’ll allow virtual items to be placed relative to the real world, and allow interaction between the two.

It’s just such a shame that Apple keeps doing & saying rubbish like this (pretty sure anyone who’s played Pokemon Go has been introduced to AR).

I was being facetious. Even with all of the announcements, it was underwhelming.

What’s worse, in contrast to the other two fields, there isn’t even close to the sort of user adoption of VR that the PC and mobile devices had when Mac jumped in with their take on those things. Even as an Android/Windows 4 life guy (outside of those iPods in high school), I can acknowledge that Apple made huge waves…

I can think of something more insufferable...

It’s amazing how we all understand those terms already when it was JUST invented!
