I’ve been a remote worker far longer than Covid and live in a dense (for the US) area. For me the density value comes from things that specifically can’t go remote.
Having parks, beaches, produce shops, restaurants, schools and friends in walking distance is the value.
Covid has proven those things can’t be replicated online.

- kasey_junk 6y agoI have a child. I live where I live specifically for the school and I don’t want to move. Remote work dramatically increases my opportunities in my current location.
- jackcosgrove 6y agoRight remote work can increase opportunities, but I should have said the mobility advantages are mostly lost on families.
