a) you can suddenly make housing more affordable by freeing up tons of office space and keeping it like that until investors start losing money.

b) jobs that can be remote doesnt always pay enough for housing. even computer science jobs here can sometimes be paying 200-300$/mo, but you can think of telemarketing too.

Good points! I should have remembered telemarketing, I actually did that for 3 years! But two years in office, covid let us do it from home.
