Who the heck is actually for this aside from OC transpo exec, and downtown business owners?

Drives me crazy reading comments where people complain that it’s about time these lazy workers go back to the office.

The crab in a bucket mentality is pathetic.

For the record I am not directly affected by this, aside from being a victim of the increase in traffic.

    The downtown business thing is such a stupid argument.

    Perhaps those businesses should use the decreased revenue from office workers to renegotiate their insane commercial leases so they can afford to operate without relying on a non-consensual clientele to stay solvent.

    Edit: some sort of a loosely organized downtown business association that no doubt lobbied this boneheaded move, could instead organize a lease strike that should be a sufficient bargaining chip
