I agree that this will probably make WFH seem like an option that works for more companies, more people, and more jobs.
I also think it might show us that we don't need to keep road building. Instead, we should incentivize companies to do more WFH. If companies that currently require people to be in the office daily allow workers to even work 1-2 days a week from home, that will greatly reduce rush-hour road congestion.
The governor of Maryland, for instance, is trying to widen the Beltway and I-270. Both roads are mostly heavy traffic during rush hour. I-270, in particular, is relatively light outside of rush hour in one direction. Simply lessoning rush hour demand for these roads would greatly reduce congestion.
WFH is a much cheaper and environmentally friendly option. It can also be implemented immediately.
