Zuckerberg said last year that he expected Facebook’s real estate growth to be primarily outside the Bay Area as the region grappled with traffic congestion and high costs. The coronavirus is accelerating that trend.
“This is probably overdue. Over the past few decades, economic growth in the U.S. has been quite concentrated, with major companies often hiring in a handful (of) metropolitan areas. That means we’ve been missing out on a lot of talented people just because they happen to live outside a major hub,” he wrote Thursday.

@manch probably still refuses to believe the secular trend of moving to WFH and plateau-ing of 7x7 RE prices.
@manch, if you like Democrat-California so much, sell your 7x7, buy in Pleasanton, San Ramon, … it takes a long time for titanic to turn, don’t be so short-sighted.
The era of 9-5-5 office is fading.
Price appreciation of condo in 7x7 slow down since 2015 
Plateauing even before the current emerging trend of WFH 
The writing is on the wall for so long yet @manch didn’t see it 
SELL your condo!

I consider being a billionaire everyday. 
I consider being a war lord

Buying a $850k condo for your kid. People with money still have money.
No Home Depot today, went to Lowe’s .
A fridge crapped out at my tenant’s place last night.
Ended up with 2 new fridges and 2 vanities.
New fridge and vanities for my future adu…
Was at HD Friday. No line. Very few wearing masks. Things are getting back to normal in Placerville. Three of my neighbors had Memorial Day parties
Around here, HD increased their customer density from 100 to 200. No more waiting at the entrance since then (2 weeks ago?)
Everyone was wearing mask at the Lowe’s Fremont location. Of course a few people had their noses sticking out.
Felt very normal except the masks 
Still have to wait in line here in Hayward but it moves quick. I like shopping there more now with less people. Usually Home Depot on the weekend is madness ( not Costco bad but still too many people.
Anyone experiencing new tenant search and renting out process in this SIP due to the leases that are expiring in this period
Why not 100% remote like so many predicted?
someone needs to be in the office for security, otherwise the homeless will move in
