Counterpoint: as a late 20something software engineer, I'm taking the opportunity to work remotely as motivation to move to a (cheaper) city and live right in the heart of downtown. Now that I can choose where I work, I can move to a city I love that's a bit cheaper than my current location, own a house in an awesome neighborhood, and hopefully take much more advantage of what the city has to offer. As of now, I've done very little exploring in my current (very large) city because 1) I live on the outskirts to be able to afford my rent, 2) I had to drive almost an hour each way to get to work, and 3) I was so "busy" due to my commute that I was exhausted in the evenings and busy with keeping the house in order on the weekends. Frankly, working remotely is giving me the opportunity to actually participate in the city culture I wanted so badly, but on a scale that's much easier to digest and enjoy.
