The rise in remote work will lead to a permanent decline in the value of commercial office buildings in major cities. This is because companies are realizing they can maintain productivity while reducing overhead costs by leasing smaller office spaces.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- Remote workers are measurably more productive now than they were back when they worked in a traditional, centralized office setting.
- No major city anywhere will enact zoning changes that meaningfully affect the permitted uses of commercial office buildings over the decade.
- The reduced demand for large office spaces will not be offset by new demand from emerging industries or alternative uses for the buildings.
- The great majority of companies that currently lease large office spaces will transition to fully remote operating models within the next five years.
- Commercial real estate taxes will not be lowered in order to help struggling commercial building owners remain financially competitive.
