Exactly. Our societies/cities were built for in-office workers. The fact that despite that there are many people who still prefer remote work shows how much potential there is for a remote lifestyle.
Every house has a bathroom. Now imagine we lived in a world were the norm was to shower at the office. Then suddenly a bunch of people starts to question whether we really should shower at the office or if we could do it at home. There would be tons of people saying 'But I don't have a bathroom, I have to shower in the sink, that's stupid and impractical!'. Well, that's exactly the situation we're in right now. Most people don't have a spare room for working at home in good condition, because buildings and cities weren't built to accommodate WFH.
- littlecranky67 5y agoThe bathroom example is well chosen, to this day you will find apartment buildings in Berlin with a shared bathroom/toilets for all the apartments in the building (and no individual bathrooms in the aparment). Given the tight housing situation, landlords exploit that fact by asking very high rent for those apartments and still find people willing to rent.
