>This is a point that seems to be conveniently left out by most return to office advocates. In my experience these tend to be executives who can afford to live on expensive real estate close to the city center. And therefore, have a very short commute. That's how cities where I live and people who I talk to live are laid out anyways. Downtown core is most expensive, and then the further out you go the cheaper it gets and the more painful the commute to the downtown core is.
