That’s all it is. They want to justify having all them buildings. What’s the point of having buildings with no people in them?

It's not so much that, it's the LOCATION. My boss explained it very well to me one day

That makes a lot of sense. Our company gets a huge local tax break. I can see the city saying "hey if you don't put butts back in the office, no point in giving you a tax breaks for people who aren't commuting to the city any more"
