My wife works in IT and had to deal with a similar RTO mandate and it was tough - but they never downsized. Most of my friends who work for the feds have had their offices downsized by an order of magnitude. The order seems impossible to comply with.

I admit I do not understand the "companies are buying up rental properties and then purposely leaving them empty to profit" scheme I see people bandy about here.

Was just talking to some friends about this the other day. I didn’t know if there was a term for “Pareto Optimal but only for low income people”. I agree it seems like a dominant mindset in a lot of circles.
