What I've seen work is satellite offices in other cities followed by satellites of satellite offices as people realize they don't want to commute into a beltway. No one in these satellite offices had a direct business relationship with others in the same office and I don't think that hurt, just as I see no actual business advantage to living downtown. We want to be around people and have all the urban advantages in our free time, but most of us learned in past decades that we want to be around different people than we work with.. and this decade, we want to be around different people from work and inside a social media blackout.
