Go Buildingless?

Among your highest operating expenses is building occupancy cost--rent, utilities, insurance, maintenance, landscaping, furniture, taxes, property taxes--phew! Just imagine if you did not have that! How? Don't have a building. With today's tech you can stay connected visually and otherwise with coworkers. Maybe just a warehouse for some shipping and receiving will do. If you have customers in ocassionally for product presentations you can always rent on demand a show space in a nice part of town. Imagine the impact. Bigger bottom line, employees do not have to buy gas, clothes, makeup for work, and greener footprint. You wake up and you are at work!

Of course, this will not do if you have a retail business. Another downside is that people do not always like working where they live. But today's tech has eliminated distance. You could take advantage. Paperless and wireless are already business goals so lets add buildingless to that. In all three cases you will probably not achieve a zero sum but certainly a lesser one.
