I absolutely love not having to waste 2-3+ hours daily on my commute. Pre-covid, reducing that commute was not an option without paying significantly more on housing. In fact, I don't mind working extra hours if it means I don't waste time on commuting. Personally I think that's a win-win for both myself and my employer, but the company is traditional conservative enough that permanent or even majority WFH is a nonstarter. The only downside is that we live in a relatively small (900 sq ft) condo that does not have a balcony and does not get much sunlight, so my wife and I get cabin fever. We also take the pandemic serious enough that we do not venture out except for absolute necessities. We've decided our next place to live will be detached housing, or at least an apartment with a large balcony. In terms of social life, this isn't a problem though since we are both introverts. We only have a handful of close friends, and most of them are also taking the pandemic seriously enough that they are likewise bunkering in at their homes.
