Whoa digital nomads by definition choose loneliness, whether they work or not.
As for the rest , i think the answer is pretty obvious: coworking apartment complexes similar to those dorm rooms but for adults. We need such spaces anyway , with the rise of people living alone and aging alone. It s time for cities to adapt to our needs rather than the reverse for once, because remote working is not going away. Its good for workers, good for business, good for the environment, good for competition, bad for visas and bad for rent seekers.
- johnnyAghands 7y agoNo one chooses loneliness.
- ctdonath 7y agoDefine "loneliness". "Alone" != "Lonely"
- icebraining 7y agoThat's exactly it; nobody chooses loneliness, though one can choose to be alone.
- elliotec 7y agoI lived in one of these in Seattle for a few months. The weird part is, nobody really used the communal areas. The facilities weren't amazing in the first place but I met 1 person in the building the entire time I lived there. We even had a shared kitchen I only saw someone make some Top Ramen on the stove top once.
- jcomis 7y agoThats kinda Seattle in a nutshell though.
- elliotec 7y agoYeah I think that's fair too.
- buboard 7y agoi wouldn't want a shared kitchen or bathroom - besides why would anyone want to live in such cramped conditions if they work remotely. But i d like it if my building had a shared coworking space a cafeteria and perhaps other commercial perks (such as gym) to use frequently - preferably with other remote workers. I know it's possible to share each of these individually, but this happens effortlessly when many people in similar situations are in physical proximity with them.
