    Tell you what 2Cents, why don't you walk on down to your closest Social Security office and walk in and ask to speak with a rep? The guard (he's required to be there) will tell you that you need to call and make an appointment, all visits are by appointment only. Walk on back home and call to make an appointment - NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE, even if you hold for hours! And that is why people need to get back into the office. If you are believing that you get 8 hours work for 8 hours pay from people at home, you're living in a fantasy land!

    That city used to be packed with offices and stores rentals in the mid 90's before we moved back to Canada. It's shocking. But in my city in London, Canada the downtown is blighted with drug addicts and vagrants. Businesses are leaving because the city won't deal with the problem. But Klingon Brandon and Gargoyle Lightfoot, really helped ruined the downtown core due all of the George Floyd riots and the random mass swarming robberies. It's pathetic. Add to this the high taxation and unsafe surroundings that compounds the situation.

Now, something that wasn't broken, will be broken in many pieces and it will be hard to fix.

    You’re correct on costs of labor. But what makes it worse is that MANY of them are paid under the table and the companies and workers don’t pay tax. But they live off the tax payers dime. Also, almost all illegal workers send a huge portion of that money back to their families and its strips Americas wealth.! More money going out than coming in. We are already BROKE!

    One thing society isn’t acknowledging is that in theory these downtown businesses are non essential and technically destination businesses. Meaning business is only driven when people are in the area for work which realistically is not sound reason anymore. Good businesses integrate themselves in people’s day-day lives. You don’t see local businesses in neighborhoods close bc they compliment each other. Yes - downtown businesses are not local businesses.

Being in the office may lead to more distractions. Many commentors have made good points re: WFH. A couple of more: I worked in a large bldg. 15-30m/day avg time going to meetings to meetings. Multiply that by # of emps doing the same thing. Wasteful. Also, my employees are all of the country. So, I'm still doing virtual meetings. SMH.

      At this point, there needs to be some sort of flexible work arrangement for every type of role. I've worked at hospitals. A flexible work schedule can be implemented for those who are clinical and must be on site. Heck, most of these people can benefit from having a real break room, with real breaks and being able to get their meals without spending half of their lunch hour on a cafeteria line or going to a vendor outside of the facility. The WILL has to be present from management to work out a plan to help employees have work/life balance. It would work out favorably for both sides.

    Illegals are bad news and all sorts of way especially these types. They are not here for asylum but for economics (job/or NO job). They are a delight for employment because they are willing to work at much lower wages causing US workers to go unemployed and inflation going higher. The illegals leech from the state/city funds, as you already know. Illegals do not pay taxes and often times send their US dollars to their own home country. The illegals were allowed here to create a one political party country. The bad news goes on and on. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
