If society accepts global warming is happening and climate change is a threat, commuting is going to be severely limited in the future. If we don't kill the commute, we're going to kill suburbs(and we may do that either way). Once you accept AGW, you have to commit to seriously reducing energy expenditures until the planet is 100% renewable and we've maxed out our carbon capture mechanisms. Commuting takes energy. Even in an urban environment. Arguments about the positives and negatives of WFH, which have been discussed in many popular threads on HN ad nauseum, are really secondary. Incentives to reduce energy usage will eliminate commutes and reshape society. Covid helped kickstart the transformation but it would have happened eventually anyway.
