>Personally I think the future of work is looking great. For the remote work class, sure it is. Some of us still have clean your shit at the wastewater treatment plant, run pipe and fiber to you so we can deliver you water and internet and so you can deliver us your excrement.

Not if they are on septic.

  In a city where space is at a premium? Which space efficient septic tank do you have in mind?

    When I lived near Seattle as a kid, our single wide didn’t have sewer, just septic. It’s more common than you think.

      > It’s more common than you think I didn't say septics are uncommon. To ask you differently: - How large was that plot (on which the septic system was installed) - Was the septic system dedicated to your house or shared - How large was that septic system

        It was a large plot of land not zoned for SFH residential because it was in a bit of a weird spot (septic tanks weren’t shared, there was enough land out back that it had enough to drain).

There is still a side benefit to the workers that must work on-site: the white-collar work that can be done at home no longer needlessly clogs the roadways with cars every arbitrary 'rush hour'. Many of my blue-collar friends loved the early months of the pandemic where they had zero traffic jams and other commuter headaches to deal with. Less pollution, less traffic fatalities, less energy use, and more money flowing to remote areas (like where a lot of infrastructure is typically located). All good things for everybody, even if the benefits of working in your PJs are unevenly distributed.

  Don't be presumptuous, it leads to errors.
