I agree with your general idea, but reality is probably a bit more complex than that. I consider myself an extroverted person (I love talking with people, to the point I have to restrain myself because I get the feeling they had "too much of me") and live in city centres for the reasons you describe. Yet, I've been working from home for 13 years, now, and totally love it. I still get the advantages of getting anything deliver to my door (it's way harder further from the city) and to be able to go out do anything should I wish it (which almost never happens). All in all, I'm glad working from home is seen as a new normal, because it's one less reason for people to call me "weird" and ignore anything I say. EDIT: oh and also, at almost 40, I still never had a driving license nor a car. I guess this can only happen working from home (no commute) in a city (good public transportation).

> I'm glad working from home is seen as a new normal I think this is TBD. There will no doubt be more prevalence of WFH allowed or WFH oriented companies, but I don't think we can say this will be the new normal quite yet.

  Notice the difference between saying "A new normal" as GP did and "THE new normal" as you did. I, for one, would be happy for it to become "A new normal", where I get to take advantage of it, but understand there are people who prefer going into the office. No need for it to become "THE new normal" because there are all sorts of different kinds of people.
