It would be a big boost to the city both economically and culturally if more people went back to offices. That said, he’s not going to make it happen by guilt or shaming people for staying in their PJs.
The city need to do more to help landlords and business owners court workers back to office spaces. Revitalizing areas like midtown and FiDi would be a start. Also tax breaks for people who rent in coworking spaces or credits to rehabbing office space to match post COVID preferences would all be more impactful.
