This has been tried and rejected before. Didn't Facebook rescind the ability of a lot it's Silicon Valley employees to telecommute? The companies want their employees physically together and available.

What you’re thinking might be having everyone work remotely and separately. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about not all the people at the same time. You want your teams that work together to overlap and have in person meetings, one on ones, and socialize, but that’s not in person with every person every day, and not every time every day. Different teams and roles have different amounts of flexibility on this, but there’s generally a pretty decent amount of flexibility, and pretty much every team’s daily standup has people remotely joining. What is more often discouraged is permanent long-term remote working, though people definitely do make that work, especially if you have worked for a while, are a valued employee, and for some reason or another, need to move elsewhere, but in those cases, it’s also pretty common to at least several times a year bring you in and pay for transpo and lodging.

That might destroy the commercial real estate market...
Same thing could be said for some courses in colleges/universities..(they could be taken online effectively)
If courses can be taken online effectively, then live action lectures have no use. They likely had no use going back to the days when PC first hit the market. Therefore no need for professors/lecturers, or at least not at the scale it was when I was in school. Thereby making costs to Unis much less. Which they should have passed down to the consumer/students. Making higher education cheaper.
You just need the handful of lecturers/professors to make the learning app/program, and sell to multiple education vendors. Heck, the lecturer/professor probably not even need the Uni system anymore. For what? They dont need the infrastructure. Perhaps its the audience, but the internet should make it easier for them to seek out on their own.
Jeff Bezos be balling! Paid bit over one billion for the property from WeWork!
I'm just glad to hear it was bought by an AMERICAN..and not (like the waldorf astoria) bought by the chinese (unless that's changed as of this writing)....
so crazy that a crappy old building like L&T is worth $1,150,000,000
IMO that's not for long, NYC real estate is about to take a massive dive. Bezos should have waited - not that he cares about money though
While NYC has its own real estate market very different from the rest of the country, I don't think there will be a massive real estate dive with interest rates lower than ever and the Fed printing a flood of money. People will be taking loans to buy everything possible, and the list of possible stuff to buy is always topped by real estate.
My wife agrees with you, 100%. The Rochester area's L&T store is beginning to like nothing more than a slightly upscale 'Target'..........sad!!
