Working from home could wipe $800 billion from office values globally
Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities worldwide by 2030 as the post-pandemic trend pushes up office vacancy rates and drives down rents, according to a new report.
McKinsey said cities could adapt to the declining demand for office space by “taking a hybrid approach themselves,” developing multi-use office and retail space and constructing buildings that can be easily adapted to serve different purposes.

Too bad it's not doing the same to Residential Real Estate. Seems like every country around the world is getting absolutely fucked by old people.
No they're not. It's a complex and multi-facetted answer that people don't like hearing.
- Immigration
- Poor zoning
- AirBNB
- Speculative real estate
Could go on and on
It's all poor planning coupled with abject greed and on those points we are all guilty.
But of course everyone wants to point a finger at one simple person.
Millenials own around 4% of the wealth in the U.S.
The younger generations have less.
Dunno what you see that as, but I see it as older generations having too much money. That means they're a problem.
Airbnb and Speculative Real Estate, sure, but in the US, Canada, and the Central EU countries, all the existing real estate is largely owned by the older Baby Boomer generation and their kids. Millennials have zero chance to buy any of that due to their lower ownership of total wealth in these areas, and the speculative pricing BS that is overvaluing the entire market BECAUSE of bullshit like Airbnb potential being factoring. It's a losing proposition.
Found the old person
What do you mean by this? I think they're correct, partially because what they said is so broad.
Just making a joke lol is really not that deep.
What's the joke?
One guy blaming "the old people" and the one coming to their "defence" being one of them. Idk man is really not that deep
What makes you think the person you responded to is old? How old do you think they are? How old are you?
I hope you're gonna be better :)
Cringe.
It's a joke, not an academic paper. You do not have to like it.
