The cost of office space for tech employees rarely exceeds 5% of pay (for high-paid tech workers).
It's not as expensive as you might first expect.
To the people who actually go into the office, it's probably well worth it.

Open plan is only cheap on the books. It costs a lot in decimating the focus of people working there.
Now I work from home 2 (two) jobs, one full time that used to be the office and one contract. I make 2x what the single office job pays me and only so I'm close to a decent pay while still below US average for developers (I live in EU).
No ducking way I'm going back to half pay plus wasting half a day in traffic for free.
On you working 2 jobs: I knew people who were working remotely 2 full-time jobs at the same time. I think their employers wouldn't be thrilled if they somehow found out about it
