Yup typical result of gentrification, glamorizing up downtown but pushing more homeless people onto the street. So if they are having trouble selling those office buildings, how about turning them into homeless shelters or turn them into affordable housing? That way at least they are getting paid somewhat instead of letting them sit idle?
Article is spot on....work from home needs to be banned..

There's no such thing as homelessness. You and I and everyone on ET will pick up and move to one they can afford (btw, I'm moving today for that reason). It's unpleasant but we do what we must.
The so called homeless today are mostly people with mental and/or substance abuse issues who simply cannot function as normal adults. There's also those who refuse to leave the street, neighborhood, city, state they grew up in and expect "the system" to provide a solution for them.
As I've detailed before, for the first group there needs to be a comprehensive reassessment of rights versus obligations and SF Breed's article spells things out clearly.
As for the second group... I can't say anything nice so I won't say a thing.
The only way I can guarantee I will get NO work done is to go into an office. I'm about efficiency and productive. Before covid I had team members that asked if they could go home so they could actually get work done. I could care less as long as work got done. People working from home were generally much more productive because they are not bothered by others constantly talking to them and being distracted every time they get up for a drink of water or bathroom break. Obviously, sometimes being in the office is great for team building and tougher conversations are better in person, but when people work from home I always found them to be more productive, more empowered, and to get more done. Every industry is obviously different.
It's both a question of character and process.
Some people are self motivated and driven to achieve. They don't need or want an office.
Many people are easily distracted by other things to do and do better if they're stuck at an office desk.
As for process, it's key to clearly understand what is expected of your team, project and delivery time, or these drift, at home or the office.
More stuff like that to come if dems win IMO.
I used to feed the homeless the last Sunday of every month for years at the Miami Rescue mission. You are 100% correct. Out of the 300 or so we would feed from what I could asses, 150 were drug users, 100 or so had mental issues but there was always more or less 20 of them who were just like me. I could have been in their shoes. They had one bad turn in life and bam they were in that situation. Those 20 were the reason I would go. Those I knew I could help make a change.
The reality is most tech jobs can be remote and the pandemic simply speeded up the time table. I think it is the business model of today's new businesses.
I know of radiologists that lives in Hawaii (one actually lives in Hong Kong) and work remotely for hospitals in CA. Different time zones actually works to their advantage because they can take the graveyard shifts.
I have tremendous respect for you as a person and as someone who taught us how to scalp. I am forever thankful, for your help in trading and in cancer treatment by opening my mind to other possibilities.
There are moderates on both side of the aisle who work hard to create positive changes. Unfortunately for some reasons, the moderates, on both sides, got shoved aside.
Best wishes to you sir and to your family, especially your daughter who joined the military to protect us.
You are welcome. I don’t really don’t see many moderates in either party. Most dem leaders are liberals and many repub leaders are rinos. The last 4 years have not improved America in any way I have been able to see, from a practical daily standpoint. That is my opinion. Perhaps others see positive changes?I have tremendous respect for you as a person and as someone who taught us how to scalp.

It was my granddaughter that joined.
