I do live in the sticks though so I know it even more heavily weighted that way.

The core property of most UK cities is made up of companies that have been bribed to open offices with regional development grants.
The office was already uneconomic and we've been propping up this system for years. It's going to get really bad soon for cities.

I wondered where the dinosaurs had gone...
I imagine it (loss of revenue) barely dents anyone's income other than overly rich landlords and sadly the very local shopkeepers who are independents.
Working from home has been 'a thing' for the last 20 years and massively on the rise before Covid. The acceleration was inevitable anyway as long as the environment was at the forefront of government's minds.
Companies who weren't letting workers work from home have adapted very well and very quickly and probably are now realising they don't need office space any more. The no more office space will be the biggest loss of revenue for landlords.
Companies who don't allow home working are ultimately dinosaurs and will lose workers very quickly to more forward thinking companies.

Continue borrowing from future generations is like grave robbing in reverse. Just cause the living don't need it now is not a defence.

Some of the places rely on tourists and regardless of whether people went back to work in offices or not, there wouldn't be any tourists so there would still be a spending short fall.

Certain the business will return, it'll just be 12-24 months before it does.
