Issues at a certain scale are well beyond reactionary and incompetent beancounters: just imaging a mass exodus from cities to nice place in nature:
- for remote workers: connectivity issues, home issues (secondary homes with bad heating since they was designed to be used only in summer, badly equipped, ...), mobility issues "hey roads here are damn small for the new-present amount of people!", "holy crap! Where I can get pizza at 4am here?";
- for workers around city offices: well, they simply need another job...
- for food delivery: they need to design a new logistic network, something that can't happen fast nor easily
- property values change who will benefit some much but also ruins others.
Oh, let me say: I'm a remote worker who flee a big city years ago and very happy of my choice. Back than some many have told me I'll lost many opportunities (true, to a certain extent, in person meetings/conference put different people with something in common together, something absent in a remote scenario) and I'll face so many issue that I'll not last more than few months... Now they regret to have not done the same back then. And that's not really positive in general: simply too many are not ready for a significant "life change" and in a society in deep crisis for many reasons adding another one is not that good. It can be if done well, with a bit of organization and planning, something I still not see.
I see partisans of both sides stating all the good of their side, ignoring the issues or their side, ferociously classify "opponents" as the worst crazy cancer of the humanity etc. Something sometimes nice to see with a bag of popcorn but not really positive for the society.
