Episode Details

Owners like Mejia, whos run his bar since 1992, feel the impact. Economists attribute this to office consolidation and remote work, with nearly 38% of central business district office space vacant. Kaiser remains committed to Oakland long-term, but local spots face challenges amid the slowdown.
