Translation: our tax income is down, because nobody wants to pay office leases, or premium rents to be close to the office. Fixed it for you!

Frey really wants workers downtown proping up the commercial real estate market and paying that 12% - 15% downtown restaurant tax mpls has when we get lunch.
Or maybe he just wants less votes because nearly everyone likes wfh except the owner class, and they like it for themselves, just not for their indentured servants.
these guys who criticize typically have always had the choice to remote work in their entire careers, have nice corner offices, can just meet with executive all career looking and do fun things. etc
Lol a study showed they became losers
k. brb going to diddle my laptop
The comment was a “complete joke” and the study was made-up, the Minneapolis mayor’s office told Fortune, but there are serious facts to back up Frey’s worry about the impact of remote work on Minneapolis’ downtown economy.
Really now? It's all bullshit, but its really real too you know!
The comment was (made by) a “complete joke”
FTFY
what a shit post.
Lol. Lmao even.
Working remotely has let me support local businesses more than before. I'm helping out a community I want to live in, not one I'm forced to commute to and just work in.
Sorry, you aren’t spending your money the right way. Private equity groups such as Blackstone have rigged the economy in their favor through capital investment and regulatory capture. They are entitled to your money and major entirely foreseeable shifts in the way the peasants toil are no excuse for them not getting it.
You mean happy losers that don't let corporations control their lives?
Maybe the world needs more losers then ...
When it comes to capitalism, I'm happy to be a loser. Proud, even. What you don't see, very often, however, is people actually firing themselves like this guy just did...
I wish I were a loser, but I have to drive to work, use tools, and make my back sore carrying a ladder around.
Frey isn’t going to last long here. Lots of Minnesotans dislike him across the political spectrum, for obvious reasons.
Its a shame, because by and large it looks like his politics don't suck. But the guy just can't help but get sucked in by corporate real estate tycoons because... that's how you get the money to run for Mayor, I guess.
Minor nit pick overall, but 'diddling' is a revealing choice of words
It's all projection with these types.
