San Francisco Is Building to Bring Residents Back

Real-estate developers are launching a series of residential projects in San Francisco, responding to new efforts by the state and city to create more housing in one of the country’s most expensive places to live. In what would be the city’s most ambitious residential development in several years, local property developer Bayhill Ventures last month announced plans for a 71-story rental tower in San Francisco’s ailing financial district. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Think Companies Are Struggling to Fill Offices? Look at the Government

The Biden administration is telling federal employees to get back in the office on a more regular basis.

White House chief of staff Jeff Zients sent an email in August to cabinet agencies instructing them to “aggressively execute” a shift to more in-person work in the fall. But administration officials say their return-to-office goals still haven’t been reached. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
