Why do we love being out and about in The City? Let The Examiner's AlSaracevic count the ways. 'Do your part and get on BART. Don't be a meanie and get on the MUNI. Get off your seat and get on your feet. Stop being shitty and get back to The City.'
OK, people. That's enough. It's been well over two years now of working in your pajamas. It's time to find your pants and get back to the office.
Consider this. The Examiner obtained the latest numbers on workplace return from San Francisco's Office of Economic Analysis, and the numbers are trending upward, but still dismal. Compared to cities with similar workforces — San Jose, Los Angeles, New York and Austin — our return rates remain low. For the week of July 20, just 39.1% of our workers have returned to the office, up from a miserable 30% in early July.
“If we continue with this rate, and it becomes a permanent model that workers can stay home, even part-time, it’s going to take a long, long time to surpass the pre-pandemic levels ," said Khan. “If the levels stay low, there will be pressure on real estate in the office market. That office space price is going to fall. ... If there are more workers in The City, of course they have to eat out, they’re going to be spending and helping the small businesses. That does have an impact.
Reason #4: You're becoming a hermit. Remember the before times? When you used to go out and socialize with people. Remember happy hour? Believe it or not, it's still going on out here, every single day. There are cafes and bars, restaurants and parks. It's quite nice in downtown San Francisco, despite what you might see and hear on Fox News. Humans are social animals and living a sequestered life is not great for our emotional well-being.
