Remote working needs to become a standard practice. It's the only way to escape the neverending rise in housing in places like SF, and give people the ability and stability to settle down in a place they love, raise a family, and invest in their housing.
Think about all of the coming job losses to automation ... what if high earning tech workers could stay in their communities, and spread some of that SV economy around.

Less CO2, less traffic, less need for new roads (a big CO2 producer on it's own). If policy makers really wanted to make a dent in fixing our problems, subsidizing remote work positions (within US borders) would be a huge benefit.
