If you are lonely because you aren't going into an office every day, you have issues in your life.
> significant drop in weak bonds which significantly shrinks one’s social networks
The "social network" is overrated, one good friend that can take care of your dog and house while you are away on holiday is worth more than 1000 "connections".
> local economic shrinkage as support businesses close (janitors, lunch spots, suppliers, etc),
On the other hand it boosts economy elsewhere.
> a loss of general sense of belonging
You need to think hard what happens when you leave or they fire you, are you going to lose your sense of belonging? is your life just your work.
> loyalty to your employer
Be loyal to your spouse, not your employer, if you find a better place to work for, go for it, your employer will do the same with you within a millisecond.
> Humans need social support.
Yes, they do, but if your main supply is work colleagues, you are screwed.
