Downtown San Jose office vacancy hits new high

[@davidpak271]

It’s also called inflation, I can’t afford to eat lunch outside every day hello?

[@nonyabusiness557]

Thanks Joe and dems

[@danielfiore5528]

Sniff cricket powder!

[@ladyramen7655]

Or you can pack your lunch🤷🏻‍♀️

[@peterponcedeleon3368]

@@nonyabusiness557 that’s where you are wrong. Now I’m a stone cold conservative. But I also understand basic economics. It was Trump that spark the inflation fire. Most of the dollars that were printed that were new, came under the Trump administration. That is the inflation. Rising prices are simply a lagging consequence of inflation.

I love working remote. I get more done, its quiet, i dont waste 4 hours in traffic, can dedicate this extra time saved to being more creative at work with out the stress of coping with crazy commute times

[@nonyabusiness557]

Most don’t

[@S3V3N17]

But economy won't do good

[@plantsplantz2116]

Pls give ppl a pay differential who cannot work remotely....or additional pay for commute time and fees or less for those WFH to balance it out...bad for economy long term

[@Jdigger4130]

Wow. 4 hour commute to an office? You live in Merced? Stockton? Do you mind me asking what you do? Having trouble understanding what office task is also creative and what company would have anyone in creative NOT come in? Always thought that was a team job not solo. Thx

[@ladonna2u742]

Must be some type of financial break for Developers to leave them vacant cause this is a state wide problem.

[@nonyabusiness557]

Yea it’s too expensive they go to cheaper Texas or Idaho.

[@MiMiiViVi]

No they are owned by investment companies as part of a larger portfolio, many foreign.

[@_ac_7649]

Hopefully they can create shelters for men experiencing pregnancy

[@nonyabusiness557]

That would solve all the problems

[@SteveJohnson-r2y]

You mean maga men?😮

[@CalvinMorris-cf8jk]

this is what happens when the rich and greedy make it impossible for the average person to go out to eat and shop for all their overpriced stuff. greed got the best of them and with rent so high who would be the first person to rent a vacant building that is sure to fail because high rent makes it impossible to succeed I live in Hayward ,every building downtown is vacant because no one can afford to rent them. madness madness at its peak. lower the rents and sale things people can afford. end of problem.

[@nonyabusiness557]

No lol its almost like u didn’t know how the world worked before the 2000s

[@Jdigger4130]

Gosh, seems like the greedy were the employees isn't it? WHO are the rich and greedy in downtown 408? You mean the city council? Local municipalities? Sacramento? All I see downtown is poverty and felons driving out the companies offering GREAT jobs in a really Cush business that no longer wanna play games w local officials who are bankrupting the place

Affordable homes since corporations bought thousands of single family homes 🤧🤧

[@kens962]

Convert bottom floors into parking/transit center, grocery store as an anchor store on bottom and residential above.

[@Jdigger4130]

Have you seen there lately? Downtown is abandoned and only people who would be attracted are already there.

[@MiMiiViVi]

Good idea but there are too many upscale markets, coffee shops and trendy restaurants. I would ask the city to allow zoning changes to turn some into apartments

[@bacardimgtow4505]

Do you know the way to San Jose

[@61amaral]

We can’t afford any thing in California hi taxes,high gas and food. I go early to the grocery trying to find mark down prices or food that’s almost expired to save money! Another way to save money is we wear extra clothes because electricity bills are so high 😢

[@diegoflores9237]

Grocery stores are rarely marking down prices

[@alkinsac]

This is happening around USA not only California unless they stop remote working

[@jeremys6631]

Policies need to change. They need to stop flavoring tech. If they aren't contributing to local economy. They need to leave then. Down size their footprint in the bay area. our cost of living is too high here. And it all because of them.

[@nichpak1]

We should Quadruple and or Quintuple down on AI, software, and E jobs. Those people really build a community with all their community building experience. Just look around at all engaged people around. Great job South Bay. Let’s prioritize on this. Looking great.

[@brianp5205]

You are paid what you are worth. Obviously you are not worth much.

[@Jdigger4130]

Whos they? Land owners? Aliens? drug addicts? I was there Saturday night and it was a dump. One click above third world but the peasants running food trucks and KILLING brick and mortar were selling 8 dollar tacos and only took cash... So it seems to me we do agree, policies are not conducive to growth. But I think we disagree on who's at fault. BUSINESS IS THE MONEY

[@narflethegarthok256]

Turn them into homes

Convert them over to emergency housing.

[@supafoob4528]

Better off changing it to housing

[@RacerX1971]

"Bustling downtown". Its dead, specially during the day. Cost too much to park, crime, homelessness...nah, i stay away as much as i can.m

In your dreams. You must be brain ded to think anyone would mistake any part of California for a flyover state like Illinois.

Relax, no it wont. Too much potential in the Bay. That will never change.

Going to the office is so inefficient

Some of them moved to SF.

[@nonyabusiness557]

Na too expensive to just work from home

[@GuitarWithBrett]

Convert to cheap housing

[@max1mu5dc]

Don't worry about those landlords who've collected plenty of money and will do so in the future with inflation

[@nichpak1]

No!!! How did that happen ? I thought San Jose/South Bay was like the New LA? What happened?

[@personyt55]

Expensive a** housing that’s what. A normal single family home in San Jose cost 900k+. Property taxes are like 15k+ a YEAR.

tech workers need to be forced back to office, f they dot want to go than its time to outsource there jobs to india and for them to move bak to where they came from, if were not going to get there work ethic, than we dont need them here. at this point, they are just causing the cost of housing go up.

[@scalelabs]

Thing is even the higher ups dont even want to go back

[@amols101]

Everyone who could be "forced" has already been done. As for outsourcing, so you prefer the US to lose their tax revenues over what, they're working from home? Idiotic.

[@rmrobertmcgillivray]

@@amols101 yes im ok with that. these poeple drive up the cost of housing and contribute nothing. the government can cut its budget if the loss of taxes is that bad!

[@Andre-o3x]

Lower the rents and these buildings will vacant again. Business will boom. It's that simple!

[@JoeRogansGutBiome]

Yeah the economy is in the dumpster still

[@robertallencad1]

Everybody needs to return to the office and that stuff would stop

[@GigaChad_169]

Returning to the office won't change the fact that most people are broke. If I don't have the money to eat out for lunch every day because of Joe Biden's inflation. I most certainly wont' have the money once I tack on an hour commute one way, gas, and car wear and tear to do the same job I do now from home...
