> Don't you have a home office anyway with a monitor, desk, and chair for normal life things? I'm 24 and just starting out my career but currently a house is completely out of my price range. I live in NJ and the cheapest house around is ~340k + ~15k/year tax. That's going to be well outside of my purchasing power for quite some time in the future. I currently live alone in a 1br apartment. > For managing your finances, writing to people, planning projects, working on hobbies, and so on? Many of the people around my age are living either at home with their parents or with their significant other + roommates. It's very difficult to find space for 2+ people's desks in a 1br apartment. If, however, people were guaranteed WFH available positions for some time and we could disperse so that all software engineers aren't crammed into ~6 cities in the world it would be fairly easy for me to get a mortgage on a house in the middle of nowhere for less than what I currently pay on rent [0]. ~3 acres of land, 3 rooms, 2 floors. It's a dream. I'm personally looking forward to the "fan-out" of talent in the US. As people relocate startups might even start popping up in random locations around the US. People in my age range might be able to start affording houses.
