A potential compromise I am hoping for would be an increased willingness of companies to open satellite or smaller offices in secondary or tertiary real estate

  That would be great and healthy for the whole country if things were more spread out.

    Maybe even for the whole world. There surely is talent some places you dont expect, that cannot move to bay area but would love (and could do) a top it job and cannot move out. In ok countries, with few salary differences from USA, even.

      I live in Wyoming. A few years ago, I was debating about trying to build up some decent 'tech spaces/small campuses' in some of the more remote/less populated and desirable area's. Some of my thoughts were: - Make sure there is good high speed internet - Good conferencing - Good office / working conditions - Great outdoor activities nearby For a flat rate per month, a person could have a furnished apartment, a working space nearby, and access to the great outdoors. If I had multiple locations, you could switch locations after a week or two. Why wouldn't someone in the Bay area want to go live in Sheridan, wyo for a few weeks, then possibly Laramie, Wyo. Maybe some Zion in Utah for a bit. Royal Gorge in Colorado. Every few weeks, you just pack up your laptop, clothes, bikes, and go to the next spot. I guess its office/lifestyle timeshare space. I never pursued it beyond thinking about it.

        That sounds like what WeWork should have promised.

    The pressure to use energy less and thus drive less may be another factor for this. No more megapoles.. more distribution (git cities)
