Companies who aren't taking advantage of the remote work option are STUPID. Our company avoided a $30 million office space expansion by hiring 30% of our employees remote. We are breaking records every year. When commercial office space starts getting retooled into apartments it will solve the issue in many of these cities. There are actually higher vacancy rates than demand in major cities. The problem is most of the vacancies are in high end residential and commercial.

@silasbishop3055 , yeah. They will fall behind. Lots of times the owner of the company owns the building and the company pays him rent. In the long term how the heck could you compete with a company that has almost no office overhead? We aren't a big company by any means, we do contract research. A huge proportion of that business is project management and support staff for editing, graphics, budget analysts, software development, etc. None of that needs to be on-site. We took the $30 million we saved on office space and instead are building a new lab and pilot scale research facility. Just increases our competitiveness that much more.

And I can't really blame them. Entitled boomers keep telling people that they're not entitled to live in cities if they can't afford it, when it is really the boomer that feels entitled to a city that is stuck in time. They use "character of the neighborhood" arguments to prevent housing from being built so that they can live in a neighborhood that doesn't change. People need to live somewhere and if my rich-ass neighbors keep blocking housing from being built in my desirable walkable neighborhood, then the people will naturally move to yours. Cities grow and evolve, and if they're not growing and evolving, they're dying. The young people that WANT walkable urbanism but can't compete on price are being pushed into the suburbs or into mid-priced smaller cities, and when that happens they don't stop wanting amenities, so they speak up in the communities where they land to create the thing they wanted in the city in the first place (Starbucks sucking aside...I'd much rather have local but that is a separate discussion). When I advocate for more housing and denser housing closer to the urban core, the suburban and rural argument is "not everyone wants to live in a city" so they get behind my NIMBY neighbors and ALSO oppose the kinds changes that would provide the housing for the people that do want to live in a more walkable urban environment. And more people get pushed to the suburbs, and the suburbs continue to expand into the rural one single-family lot at a time. The best thing you can do to prevent what you're talking about is help advocate for the kinds of zoning reform that would allow the housing to be built in cities. If people can live near the coffee that already exists, then they won't try to change your community.

This ghost town outcome had already begun to happen in San Francisco. I started this pattern of moving farther out to afford the city back in 1998. I had to commute to Philly. I began by living in Dover DE, over 90 minutes of a highway drive (that's 70 mph and still 90+ minutes). I was up at 5 am for a 10 am job and home around 9. Once I moved to PA, I had to live an hour away to afford the rent. Back in 2005 it was $950 for 3 bedroom LITERALLY beside some Amish farms. When the rent went to $1200, I left.

You can get two out of these three things from an apartment, not three: 1) cheap, 2) big, 3) clean. I choose cheap and clean every time and being willing to put up w/ a little cramped-ness has paid off many times over. I live three minutes from work at the moment and am SO, so grateful.

I think the problem is that we decided to build houses, when we shouldn't have built high rises. Houses are expensive, takes up lots of land, resources, etc. High rises take up less space, it make people live closer where they actually work, etc. Back when the population was much lower, people living in houses was not a problem, because with less people, the country didn't need to build so many houses, so the houses would be closer to where people work. But, as the population grew, more land was required to build them, so now houses needed to be built much farther away, where they were land available. With more people comes more problems. US, Canada, did not adapt very well. They should have stopped building houses and concentrated on high rises. It's too late now, the problem is here and it's not going away, until people start dying, so that things become more available, less expensive, etc.

I'm not just talking about a few high rises, I'm talking about a shit ton of them. This way they stay affordable to rent(like $500-1000 USD a month), when you have a lot of supply, it becomes cheaper. This would even be better than buying a house in a lot of cases, cause houses cost a lot, you are responsible for all the expenses, etc. I can already hear a lot of people saying, well I like living a house, I have more space, it's safer, etc. Well, that may be, but how often do you spend in your backyard, your front yard. In most cases, we spend most of our time in just a few places in the house and that's it, everything else is just a waste of space. Safer? Perhaps, but a lot of people don't trust their neighbors, I certainly don't. Anyways. Lots of high rises would solve a lot of problems. I know this will never happen, though. The government will never allow it.

Philly to NYC or DC everyday for work??? Oh hell nah😭 My bf used to drive down to DC a few times a month at his last job, and that was about 3hrs in rush hour traffic, from northern Delaware. He dreaded it every single time. I can’t imagine this kind of super commuter lifestyle longterm.

How can these people waking up at 4:00 and 5:00 mentally concentrate doing these presumably office jobs?? I can barely do mine after 8 hours of sleep since things are so complicated!

Rent is not the same everywhere. There are affordable places to live. Texas on the whole is way cheaper. Canada is way over priced.

@emro164 It depends on where you live. I have two sons that live in the Arlington TX. That is close to Dallas. Neither of them pay for parking. One son lives in a one bedroom apartment. It's 1200 a month. I live in Crockett TX. Rent here is from $650 to around a $1000. You do need a car. No one pays for parking. There are some very affordable towns. Dallas, Houston, and Austin are the most expensive.

Team up with people to save money on rent and car expenses. I have had roommates most of my life, get over it. Most of you can't afford absolute privacy. I did not replace my last older car, I have had an e-bike for the last 5 years. My life style is so simple, living way below my means.

AI is coming and those jobs are going to be harder to find. Robots don't have feelings they just do their job. They have doctors and other service people it has begun. So that is something to think about is your job safe.

I commuted for years to work. No one is making people do this. I woke up one day and said why am I doing this. You can move. You may not make quite as much money. You won't spend as much as you are now. You will have more time to do other things if you live in a smaller town. Commuting is a waste of time and gas.

Whine, whine, whine. When I got my first full-time salaried job back in 1972, I had to catch a bus to the railway station, take a train to another local town, then walk over a mile to my place of work. I was paid £48.00/month. Dunno what the US dollar equivalent was back then. Even before the commute, my apartment rent, gas & electricity swallowed half my income. I was 19 years old and couldn't even afford a TV. My parents had it even harder in their youth. I'm fed up to the back teeth of people griping about how tough life is today...

Ok Boomer. Assuming we believe you (we don’t) why do you think that’s ok? Why is what you went through ok and why is what the youth are going through today ok? You just believe in suffering huh? You certainly don’t believe in life or math. This is why your kids don’t call you.

That sounds reasonable for a 19 year old….but these aren’t kids, these people are in their late 20s and 30s. Were you living that same way at 33?

@@pastoral_landscape It wasn't "reasonable"; it was bloody difficult. Of course things were better when I was 33 - I'd had 14 years of continuous employment, promotion, further education, saving, investment and the spur of ambition, not to mention the experience of life. Why haven't these people? If you can't afford public transport, you use private transport. If you cannot afford a car, what does a simple stepthrough moped cost to buy and run? If you cannot afford that, get a bicycle. If you have to cycle 20-30 miles to work every day, you get up earlier. These days, more and more pen-pushers are able to work from home. Most of the people in these videos seem to expect their own private accommodation. Unless you have a highly marketable skillset it just doesn't work like that in the big city. When I first moved to central London, England, I shared a house with 4 other guys. Our combined salaries paid the bills and left us room to grow...
