That's a conspiracy theory. Most companies have no interest in keeping high housing market prices, because it increases the wages they pay to their workers and it increases the lease for their offices.

I have not seen any evidence of a ceo needing the office market to stay high. Some companies renting those building? Sure! But most ceo don't care about those.

Managers though can't adapt to remote working teams, and they must justify their use to the company. A ceo will also be very easy to convince that people won't work if they're left alone at home, eventhough all studies prove the opposite. There is a toxic culture within the management and directors that workers won't work if they aren't under a leash.
