Commercial real estate needs companies to rent their buildings, WFH cuts profits

BYUFootballisBack

Ok but why would individual companies care about that? If they could save money

cougarfann888

11:21am

They dont he said the push back is coming from the commercial real estate people

BYUFootballisBack

11:23am

Exactly. One firm's profits are another's expenses.

11:23am

Because individual companies are still paying for the offices they are leasing.

ochobeeguy

11:27am

paying for the building, heating, cooling, water, etc

And will do so whether the employee shows up or not. So why does it matter?

most blue states are that way. WA used to be really expensive

So does Colorado charge that tax every year or just first time you register?

WA got rid of that while I lived there 20 years ago. Not sure now though.

It's every year, but the amount decreases each year I think
