I live in New York City where apartments are small and rents are high. I don't live alone. What remote work essentially does it makes the shared space in our apartment smaller since there are more people in it more often. In effect it shrinks your apartment. If I am working for someone else I think they should bear the cost of renting the room where I am working in. If I'm not in the office they can use my share of the office-space to something else. They won't need so much space and thus will pay less rent. So I think remote work is in many cases in the interest of the employers, at least financially. I do believe that in-person contacts are valuable. But I haven't seen it discussed much that remote work in effect shrinks the place where you live.
