A nice idea, but living space is limited and expensive in most major cities.
- internet_user 6y agoWouldn't WFH give you some flexibility on location where you live?
- kayoone 6y agoThere are other reasons why people live in major cities. Also with family and friends it is easier said than done for most people.
- Razengan 6y agoWith WFH (and even schooling from home if implemented well), you wouldn't have to live in expensive major cities.
- kayoone 6y agoBut what if I live in a major city not only for work reasons?
- Razengan 6y agoThen you chose to live in an expensive city. If WFH becomes the norm for the majority, companies may not want to maintain expensive physical offices for people who can’t (or don’t want to) work from home. I assume even limited living spaces in major cities include a bed, desk or couch, at least. WFH doesn’t mean “only from home” anyway; you could work from any space you have access to. Parks, restaurants, if they allow it, which I expect they will, along with many other facilities popping up for remote work. It could actually create an interesting new industry of third-party office providers.
