Work from home has saved corporate America $$$ 100's of Millions. eg. With NYC average office space currently running at $56.46 per square foot. WFH is lowering the employee operational costs and saving Corporate HQ.

So, pretty soon HOPEFULLY restaurants won't be able to use their BS claim of staffing shortages to run a 5,000 sq/ft / 100 seat restaurant location as a drive-thru?

Because I refuse to waste good $$$$ to eat cold food at home 20+ mins later.

#2 Austin led the roost with 55.3 percent occupancy

Do they pay people not to work in Texas?

#3 yes occupancy is increasing but still lags 2019

also, capacity has increased so it takes more office workers to fill it up, not just Austin but almost everywhere
