You make a compelling case for more people to opt to working from home given the choice. I wonder in all of this whether or not we might be losing something. I'd say that co-location (and possibly commuting) are a part of a larger ecosystem. For instance there are a number of businesses that cater for the office based folks. This could be providing breakfast, lunches, coffees, cigarettes (vapes), etc. In some cities you have coffee shops/restaurants that are mainly open during office hours. Without the offices many of them wouldn't be there. These may be businesses of various sizes employing several people. Then there's the staff required to maintain the office space from receptionists, porters, security, cleaners, technicians, etc. Then there are the pubs/bars that people go to after work (one of things I miss when home based). I could go on. You could argue that many of these people could simply be employed elsewhere. I think we should consider the potential ramifications of the shift before we jump full steam ahead.
