Allocating capital is hardly in the same league as bunch of nuts gunning down civilians.

Not surprised. Claims to reduce impact to the environment makes people feel good. Much harder for consumers to put money where their mouth is.

I mean, there has to be a business case eventually. Otherwise, what are you spending money on?

What are you talking about. Highly skilled contractors make bank in this country, more than enough to offset no insurance and benefits. Not to mention all the tax write offs you don't have access to as a W-2.

Don't think so. They like having choice. I don't know anyone who actually prefers 5 days a week at home. They also don't like being mandated to come in specific days either. More of a "Come in 2 days a week when you feel like it".
Humans are social creatures and work is one of the ways for people to socialize.

There wasn't much talent to begin with in city agencies. How many top tier talents do you know that willingly go work for city agencies?
Top software engineers go to FAANG. Top law school grads go into big law. Top business school grads go into banking and consulting.

That would require actually thinking.

Don't disagree but the problem is budget for housing attorneys is pretty low on the list for not just politicians but really the taxpayers.
If you ask 100 people on the street random for their top 3 concerns, I doubt anyone would say "budget for housing attorneys"

Regardless of your feelings for the NYPD, no city / state agency is going to willingly let their budget get cut.
So yea, you aren't just going to "pay them better".

>Pay them better, attract and retain staff, its not that hard
Yes it is hard. It's one thing to say "pay them better". It's another to actually find the money to pay them better. Where you going to get that money?
This is what happens when feels meet fiscal reality.

Everything is free to the progressives. Someone else always picks up the tabs don't you know?
