Following the recent earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand this is a subject of interest. With the central business district closed for 5 weeks and counting, many people who were formerly office-bound are now working from their home or offices being set up in suburban housing. It will be interesting to see how much of this change will be permanent. In my experience the social aspect is the hardest part of remote/home working to get right.
