    there are some markets where these properties are fighting for a very finite supply of tenants.

    True, but these aren’t usually the markets in major cities. It’s why rent is actually affordable outside of them.

      Office buildings would like a word with you.

      It’s the reason so many large corporations a talking about RTO, office real estate prices are set to plummet if everyone’s keeping to WFH.

      Sadly, that’s only tangentially related to housing (although I believe to have read something about new subsidies for landlords converting office space into appartments).
