I live in the USA and I am concerned about the future. I created this blog to share my thoughts on the economy and anything else that might catch my attention.

Legendary Office Construction Booms of the Past 20 Years
Houston seems to be an exception to the trend. Residential and commercial (including office) construction is booming. It seems to have been going especially strong since the end of 2012. Maybe everybody should drill for oil.
And when I say we, I really mean the millions of college students around the country who may be expecting office employment to grow like it once did. Sigh.
I think cubical bunkbeds might free up some space. Is there really ever any need for employees with pagers to actually go home. Robots work 24/7. People can too!

ReplyDeleteLuke Smith,
ReplyDeleteHouston, we have a problem.

Obviously people can afford commercial property just using their increasing disposable income.

ReplyDeleteWhat it lacks in square footage, it makes up for in frugal mobility, lol. Sigh.
Speaking of the "Office of the Future":

Low overhead is key, especially for companies that are forced to cut corners.
Some might argue that our race to the bottom economy eventually forces us all to cut corners?
Don't be last!
mab,
ReplyDeleteThe overhead is low.
Nice, lol. Sigh.
