Philly Loves Working From Home. But Is It Bad for the Economy?

from City Cast Philly · host City Cast

Center City's office buildings have struggled to bounce back from the pandemic. One reason is because the way we work has changed – some of us are home all the time, some are hybrid, and some are in the office daily. Jake Blumgart, real estate reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, talks about the current state of downtown office buildings, why their value and occupancy is so much lower than before the pandemic, and what this all could mean for Philly.
