As another commentator said, the commercial real estate industry is a huge force in NYC and NYS politics. However, it's also a huge revenue generator for both city and state. Putting aside political influence, they're staring down the double barrels of covid money running out, and then greatly reduced revenue from rents. NYS is also weighed down by pension costs, so I can see why Cuomo wants people back ASAP.
