Covid has changed the landscape of employment. There are a few silver linings in the tragic event of Covid that I do like.

This countries way of living and working needs a change.

Who wants a return to the days of sitting idle in traffic for hours day after day?

Seeing the same back stabbing fuck faces in the office hovering around watching and whispering.

Fuck all that! I'm all for working from home.

A lot of businesses are saving money for not using corporate real estate space

Good idea, I see several paths to better uses. Your suggestion could work too.

It won't be until interest rates lower. There's at least two I know of where they planned to convert it to housing but they either ran out of money or realized it would cost too much because of interest.

The old office standard is on life support, some of these set in their ways fuckers don't want to move forward, also the stealing of others work and passing it off as their own is why a lot of these MFs are crying that people need to be back in the office like the bad old days. We had already started changing up things at my job before Covid and have been working a very successful hybrid work schedule.

As I keep saying, that was a few silver linings within the Covid pandemic. The United States seriously needs to change the way we do business because we’ve been doing the same thing for the last hundred plus years and Covid exposed that shit is not working anymore. How many people work from home can help with the environment in some places. Also for the people who are still having kids (and it’s very few people right now) they don’t have to pay for expensive daycare for their young children.

Downtown Atlanta office-to-residential conversion project faces foreclosure

Two Texas development firms were in the process of retrofitting the 48-year-old building into 120 apartments, but the effort is now in jeopardy.

That's one of them. 41 Marietta St in Atlanta. It's going up for foreclosure on May 7th. Most of the ones people are looking into are downtown, as it's the oldest space in the area.
