This guy just doesn't get it, people aren't going back to the way things were two years ago. Adams and others need to make up their minds and adjust to new normal.

As I've said before the real issue is the higher paid suburban worker who is extremely happy working from their plush suburban home, no longer having to commute into NYC via MNRR, NJT, LIRR, PABT, etc. Neither Hochul nor Adams will ever admit that though. The suburban worker enjoys the view of his backyard more than he enjoys looking out the window of any train, bus, or subway. No panhandlers, no vomit/urine on the floor, no Subway-Feces-Man chasing you around. LOL!

It's not just suburban workers living in "plush" housing. Know plenty of family, friends and others who live on Staten Island, in Brooklyn, and Manhattan that started WFH two years ago, and aren't in any hurry to return.
Wife of a cousin told her employers "see ya", when they announced WFH was largely over and called employees back. She's since landed a nice gig with another company that allows WFH and is thrilled. They have a few little ones and is over moon about not having to deal with finding childcare and other hassles.

Everyone I know has got headhunters buzzing around them like bees; constant daily emails or texts about openings...
All true. I live on SI and a few of my neighbors are doing WFH and are very happy about it. No more 1+ hour express bus rides, no more ferry, etc. Getting up later is also a big plus.

Given current Metro-North numbers, yes will give you WFH is an issue more with suburban and urban residents. Ridership on MN and LIRR IIRC is barely half of what it was pre-pandemic.
What's draining the NYC economy is the mentally ill and homeless taking over the city....
