i think his claims fail common sense.  you have a ton of people who have adapted to hybrid working. they've relocated where they live, enrolled their kids in schools, and have been in a constant schedule for 4 or 5 years.  now you're going to take those same people, force them commute much further than they did before. force them to change child care plans since kids will be getting on and off buses while they are commuting. they'll have to pay more in gas, wear tear of cars, lose much more of their day just to work. basically it'll be a big pay cut to employees.  the office buildings will now need to run at full capacity 5 - 7 days a week. they'll have to spend more on water, electricity, heating, janitorial services, sewage, not to mention replacing desks, monitors, carpet, chairs. depending on the size of the building, that could cost tax payers millions. so i don't see how it's going to "save money".
