We are now three years into the shift from office working to hybrid/home-based and the only strategy commercial property developers have is paying for advertorials bleating about how everyone should work in offices rather than idk pivoting their model.

Capitalism is not a driver of innovation, or they'd have fucking innovated.

During the @vagina_museum property search, we saw the sheer *quantity* of developers who owned completely empty office buildings with no chance of it ever being an office choose to have no money rather than a cultural organisation, because they are holding out this wild hope that some day everyone will magically adopt primary office work again, which just isn't going to happen.
@stavvers @vagina_museum And that is why we need a "use it or lose it" law: any property left unused for X years is subject to compulsory sale by the local authority at auction; they get a cut of the net as an agency fee & the original owner gets the balance.
