I don’t know about the US, but there’s more to urban areas than just the commute time.
If anything wfh means spending more time in your home neighbourhood, so you’re going to need more amenities closer by - which are generally found in cities.
- swsieber 6y agoBut even by city standards, the bay housing prices are atronomicsl, right?
- pb7 6y agoThis will be fiercely debated but Bay Area (notably San Francisco) has previously been a mix of {things to do, high paying jobs}. Once you remove high paying jobs (or rather, expand them to other cities by way of remoteness), there are many other equally good or better contenders for things to do with significantly cheaper housing.
