An experiment in 2020s incentivizing the workplace as a dot-com-era adult playground where work also occurs has ended with a whimper in downtown SF. Tech company Expensify is shutting down its bar, which it opened earlier this year, after six months.

      If we make these huge towers, we can have recreation, work and living all under one roof!

          “High Rise” was a good book/film, is all I’m saying :)

          Pretty sure at this point it’d be more of a “But I don’t wanna spend an extra penny on this prooooojeeeeeect” kinda deal. I know people who would definitely do it, but the bigger problem is getting people in power to actually pay to have it done.

          Though I do agree there are so many people here in America who would complain that it’s too hard.

          I think the current problem is more “it’s risky and hasn’t been tested much”

          And yes, it’s obviously still hard.
