> Office buildings take land and resources and generate almost nothing for the local community

This reads like the prelude to Month Python's "what have the Romans ever done for us" skit.

I recommend you catch up on the post-covid "return to office" conversation, particularly the arguments from municipalities and local governments. Even though I'm a diehard WFH guy, you clearly missed all the arguments on how forcing people to commute to the office benefits the economic activity in urban neighborhoods.

Now, if your employer opted to build offices in the middle of nowhere... That's another issue.
