• Dorsey said the company has been working on the issue for "a year, if not two years" during an appearance on "The Boardroom: Out of Office" podcast this week. 
• "No one wants to move to San Francisco anymore, no one can afford to live in San Francisco anymore," Dorsey said. 
• Twitter was one of the first tech companies to close down its offices in March, and Dorsey has since announced that employees can work from home forever if they'd like.
