... on the price of real estate in hot markets?

Seriously though: as with everything else, your mileage may vary (YMMV). Some people and companies are doing great with it and making it permanent. Others are experiencing issues. It has to do with what you are doing and the personalities in your organization.

Absent any other details as to how Mr. Hastings has come to his conclusions I'm left wondering if

“Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative,” Mr Hastings told the Wall Street Journal.

Doesn't ACTUALLY mean "managers not being able to micromanage by proxy of physical presence is a pure negative", because in lived experience this has been at the root of much resistance to WFH in my career: managerial loss of control and influence

Bullshit. Where is the peer-reviewed research?

This is business! Billions of dollars are at stake. This is far too important for things like "research" or "science." We make decisions based on the gut feelings of charismatic white men. Charisma is proof. If reality disagrees with charisma, reality is wrong.

(Politics is even more this way...)
