The fightback has begun. Landlords have spotted that empty offices will soon mean a glut of office space which will mean a fall in rents, so who better to turn to than their mates in government to force people back into those same offices, whether they want to or not? Sod this working from home lark, that's not going to fund their third house in the Bahamas, time to put all those contributions to the Conservative Party to good use and call in some favours.
Are you all set?

That thought had occurred to me.
When you scare the bejesus out of people into not to do something, you have to scare them back into doing it.
It is only the city centre businesses that are affected, many local businesses are enjoying a resurgence. The sandwich shop next to my flat has had a full refit and now has a shiny new delivery van as well.
Many small business owners rent their units and commute to their location anyway and can quite easily close up and reopen somewhere else.
RT, indeed, but the city centres are where all the really big rents are (were?) to be had. My brother owns a small set of business units in the countryside and has the opposite problem: too many potential tenants and not enough space.
They should be lobbying the secretary of state for housing, to loosen planning for office space to allow residential. Would soon be picked up, at a profit too.
Have you seen Rupert Sheldrake's banned Ted talk, and the scandal that followed by the militant atheists? Pure entertainment!
