For the right price, yeah. You’ll be able to sell coastal properties for the right price too. Just nowhere near as much as you paid for them. They’re not interested in getting only some of it back.
I have no idea why people are trying to pretend it’s not worrying the owners of these buildings when the owners of these buildings are throwing hissy fits all over the shop.
Which is why I said “dangerously close”. Office buildings which are empty because they’re not needed as offices any more can be sold to developers who will turn them into housing or shops. But with fewer employers based there, demand for housing and shops may also disappear.
Yes, obviously. Is the number of employers who no longer need the office space larger or smaller than the number of employers who need more office space?
They’re going to make a loss. They do not want to make a loss. No amount of imaginary buyers is going to stop them having to take a loss.

You can reuse commercial buildings for other things (like residential sky rise). You cannot reuse underwater homes.
Already covered.

Where are those employers coming from? The issue arises precisely because companies don’t need anything like as much office space as they used to.
