That only helps for the current job you have right now. What about the next job? Will you move every time you change jobs? What if the company is located in an area with far too expensive/not enough housing?
Remote work lets you live where you want, independent of where your job is (within reasonable consideration for timezone differences.)

- ninkendo 5y agoMy point is that a strategy of “I will solve the commute problem by always living a 10 minute walk from work” requires you to move nearly every time you change jobs, or requires all of your potential jobs to be right near your home. Working remotely doesn’t have such a requirement. I think we could both be charitable to OP and agree that, in a situation where a job came up which was a 10 minute walk from their current home, it’s probably not what they meant when they said “I’ll never work in an office again.”
