This makes the question of how much covid-era remote work will remain remote (particularly for the highest-paid employees) particularly urgent.

- tptacek 5y agoI'm probably wrong about everything. But to me: remote work explains why houses in, like, Idaho might get more expensive. But if you're going to live in Chicagoland or in DC metro, there are big advantages to living close to the center, even if you don't have to commute; all the good restaurants are there, all the shows are there, public transportation is better, and so on.

I know this is heresy and contrary to all I purport to stand for, but I've gotten pretty acclimated to suburban big box eating, lol. We've been to Glory Days Grill more than once.
- idlewords 5y agoYou're right, but there's also a difference between a daily work commute and a "let's do fun city stuff on weekends" commute that would influence your choice of house in a big metro area.
