For me personally, the ideal is the kind of good walkability and public transit you're talking about, but in a small town or city, somewhere in the 50k-500k range. Those are probably my favorite working arrangements. I like the smallness, less noise/congestion, and reasonable prices combined with the ability to still have a walkable downtown, and maybe hop on a train to get somewhere bigger a few hours away if I really need to. Easier to find those cities outside the USA though.

After trying Charlotte, SF, and Seattle on for size, I’ve learned the same about myself. I work remotely for an SF-based company from Greensboro, NC: population 300k, with a highly walkable downtown. Bought a townhouse in the heart of everything with a commercially zoned office as the first floor. I go weeks without driving and share a single car with my wife for the times we need it.
