Nailed it. If you aren't working onsite then they can't write off the asset. This leaves businesses holding an expensive depreciating asset that highly impacts the balance sheet. Solution? Force people back to the office to get that sweet, sweet write-off.
That sounds like a dream. I just bought a $550k house with $130k down and pay $3500 a month. Rates are absolutely ridiculous. At the same time, I don't think it's cheaper to rent at the moment.
