Tax working from home, says Deutsche Bank, because the economy needs that lunch money you’re not spending

Welcome to capatalism.

Hey bankers you spent all your time and investments positioning yourself to have advantage of how the economy worked. You guys bought all the office space and invested in property developers and put your shares in large companies and pushed people out of the city due to gentrification and now the landscapes changed. That's capitalism, we have to suck it up when it works for you, now it doesn't tough shit.

The argument that a coffee shop in the city centre is now losing out doesn't wash with me, most of them are owned by big conglomerates that pay naff all taxes, they'll be replaced by the coffee shop in the local village the one that doesn't have shareholders and spend a large amount of money on lobbyist and so on to avoid taxes, well actually get money from them, and a regenerated village still needs staff, except they probably wont have a stupid commute and have to wear corporate flair.

People working from home will have more leisure time, and more money to spend on their lives rather than just commuting, money will still move, the environment may actually improve. Just because you bought shares in Starbucks and are now shitting yourselves that you may lose the second house in Monaco is not my problem.
