Strawman my ass. The number of people fully working from home is going down. Period. Companies are bringing folks back to the office, in droves, that have been working fully from home for 2 years. That’s the whole point. What is this so hard to understand? If you claim fully remote workers were a significant factor in SD (or any other city’s) RE gains over the last 2 years, you can’t also claim that remote workers going back to the office won’t have a negative impact. You can’t have it both ways.[/quote]
Of course number wfh went down. Everyone (except for essential workers) were either WFH or not working. So, yes, it is a strawman cuz no one is arguing with you about that. You’re arguing against yourself on that one. Which is the exact definition of strawman.[/quote]
No, actually people on this site have been arguing this. Many here don’t really understand mathematics. They think just because the WFH folks who moved here aren’t necessarily going back to Bay area, that this is good for the housing market. It doesn’t mean squat becauese they’ve already bought their houses. What matter is growth (positive or negative) going forward. The point is there will be less and less future opportunities to move from Bay Area to SanDiego (or whereever) to wfH going forward so there will be far less demand than there was during Covid.[/quote]
Can you quote someone who said we either will stay 100% remote as a whole (except for essential workers) or somehow, 100% remote as a whole (including essential workers)?
