Almost 20% of office space in the U.S. is not leased at the end of 2023

Bad news or good news? Depends!

What is the situation in other Western countries?

On the positive side: How much did this reduce the daily commuting traffic and reduce the consumption of gasoline? How much does this improve the air quality in urban areas? (Questions for those who e.g. believe in the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion)

Home alone work from home! 😊 A major trend in the labor market.

What to do with all this empty office space? Will it remain that way? New housing for millions of illegal immigrants (pardon my facetiousness and irony)?

"19.6%. The share of office space in major U.S. cities not leased as of the fourth quarter, according to Moody’s Analytics. That’s the highest number since at least 1979, which is as far back as Moody’s data go. Overbuilding and the shift to working from home helped fuel the surge." (The Wall Street Journal What's news)

Homeoffice: Mehr als zwei Millionen Deutsche arbeiten komplett zuhause

Man könnte dies Homeoffice Arbeiter auch Klimaretter nennen in der vom Klimawahn erfassten Bananenrepublik D.!

Weniger Staus, Abgase! Mehr Zeit für andere Aktivitäten als im Auto sitzen und pendeln usw.

Homeoffice: Mehr als zwei Millionen Deutsche arbeiten komplett zuhause Die Pandemie hat dem Homeoffice einen deutlichen Schub gegeben. Mehr als zwei Millionen Beschäftigte lassen sich gar nicht mehr im Büro blicken. Fast jeder Vierte arbeitet zumindest gelegentlich von zu Hause aus.

Global Energy Review: CO2 Emissions in 2020 – Analysis - IEA

It seems the International Energy Agency forgot to research how much of this drop is due to the increased use of the home office!

One can also safely assume that the Covid-19 restrictions that are still imposed by so many Western countries serve predominantly to avoid CO2 emissions! What a scandal! The return to prepandemic normal is long overdue (since January or latest March of 2021)!

Since home office work, thereby reducing the daily commute and CO2 emmissions, is here to stay, the hysteric demagoguery about 2 degrees Celsius, Global Warmign hoax, Climate Change religion is even more ridiculous!

"... As primary energy demand dropped nearly 4% in 2020, global energy-related CO2 emissions fell by 5.8% according to the latest statistical data, the largest annual percentage decline since World War II. In absolute terms, the decline in emissions of almost 2 000 million tonnes of CO2 is without precedent in human history – broadly speaking, this is the equivalent of removing all of the European Union’s emissions from the global total.... A common theme across all economies is the scale of the impact of the pandemic and lockdown measures on transport activity. The decline in CO2 emissions from oil use in the transport sector accounted for well over 50% of the total global drop in CO2 emissions in 2020, with restrictions on movement at local and international levels leading to a near 1 100 Mt drop in emissions from the sector, down almost 14% from 2019 levels."

Work-From-Home Challenges City Income Tax Reach

Another good reason to work from home more often! 😄

"Two dozen Michigan cities that levy local income taxes face a reckoning with a new workplace reality brought on by the COVID pandemic.

Workers who commute to jobs inside these cities have been obligated to pay local income taxes. Many of these employees, however, no longer come to the office, and it’s unclear how many of these nonresidents still pay the local income tax. ..."

"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."

— Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Le Roy, 1789

Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft: Warum das Homeoffice kein Allheilmittel ist

Schon die Schlagzeile ist ober daemlich!

"Viele Jobs können auch künftig nicht zuhause erledigt werden. Die effektive Ausübung vieler Jobs ist an einen bestimmten Ort gebunden."
Wirklich! Ich wette, das viel mehr Jobs von zu Hause ausgefuehrt werden koennen!

Warum das Homeoffice kein Allheilmittel ist
Die Erwartungen an Homeoffice sind derzeit sehr groß. Dabei zeigen etliche Forschungsergebnisse, dass die Arbeit von zuhause aus nicht das Idealbild des Arbeitsmodells der Zukunft ist.

Das sog. "Idealbild des Arbeitsmodells der Zukunft" ist unbekannt, da die vorherseherischen Faehigkeiten des Menschen allgmein sehr eingeschraenkt ist, das gilt auch fuer DR. Andrea Hammermann, der Verfasserin des Artikels. Zudem unterliegt das "Idealbild" staendiger Entwicklung und juenger Leute moegen ganz anders denken!
