THIS.

WeWork goes away, but the tenants stay and begin paying slightly higher rents to the building owners. Because the owners don't want the space vacant, anyone paying WeWork's rent can afford a little more, and the building landlord just hires someone to manage all the "small" contracts that were too small for them to consider as renters before.

That is, once people are allowed to go inside the buildings again....

Plus short-term leases are much more attractive if you feel like selling the building because it means you can do what you want without having to wait six years or buy someone out.
