San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is ordering thousands of city employees back to the office at least four days a week, part of a move to strengthen city services while injecting life into the city’s struggling downtown.

In a memo obtained by SFGATE, Lurie set an April 28 deadline for full implementation, directing the Department of Human Resources to oversee the transition. The order primarily affects around 10,000 office-based employees who currently work hybrid schedules.

All of that is a thing to be addressed by making people want to go downtown, not forcing them to at their personal expense.

If downtown commercial retail space becomes worth less, then it might become more attractive to incorporate residential spaces intermixed with the businesses. That would reduce the need for commuting, which is the primary problem with centralized business districts.
