That is why nature invented subletting.

Getting 80% of what you're paying for space you don't need is much better than getting 0%. Then you get to claim a big cost reduction this year and a big cost reduction when the lease expires and you can dump the unneeded space entirely.




They investigated this, but it was impossible to find anyone who wanted the space. Everyone was working at home. Nobody needed office space.


There are no bad products, only bad prices. Subletting for 30% of what you're paying is more than 0% too.


No there are definitely bad products.


Nevermind that we're talking about real estate, which is certainly a useful product.

Name something that can't be used at all by anyone for any purpose.


Are you saying that a product is only bad if it has literally no possible use to anyone?


Where is Softbank and WeWork when you need them? /s
