A modern society can very well exists with much of jobs from remote, of course not all can be done remotely and that means those jobs will get paid more, witch is actually good BUT that demand a revolution many do not want: that demand a distributed economy.
WFH it's ok, but outside my new home on mountains I need groceries, health services, real-life leisure services etc those can only exists in a new old distributed economy because who want to open a megastore on mountains collecting a small fraction of people of even a small city?
Such transformation is needed ALSO for environmental reasons: we can't make "green tall buildings" simply because we can't practically upgrade them, while we can make homes "for a human life" to be destroyed and rebuilt with modern techniques of the present time forever. We still need factories, witch still need many humans in place, witch means a new kind of society where the wealthy are physically far from poors, poors are concentrated in factory-smart-cities-labor-camps-alike places and wealthy are spread in the territory, but since in nature there is the principle of communicating vessels that can't really last longer etc. Actually ALMOST NO ONE want to face such big revolution, also neoliberals schools believe that population can't really evolve in "short" time, even if some try hard to push them to a new and better life. That's the challenge and probably the response will be "individual" with big unrest in the meantime...
