Let’s be more specific about the obvious conflicts of interest at play.

These managers, directors, and VPs are the same who have the most to lose if real estate loses its value. Their portfolios are diversified and they have commercial and residential real estate positions they don’t want to lose on, even if it means fucking over their employees.

This is insane speculation?

You're saying these executives are invested in some REIT so they push RTO to pump their own bags?

Maybe, just maybe, they think RTO is better for the company?

I think they can't tell if RTO is better for the company, so they think, "why tank my REITs, directly owned properties, or other real estate investment plays if I am not sure?"

We can speculate for sure and their real estate investments are a likely reason but I was trying to only use their historical behaviors and known information about the decision to make the point.
