House builders aren't building spaces for the WFH world that are affordable, so most people feel trapped working from their kitchen, living room, or bedroom. I'm currently fortunate that I'm able to have a semi-dedicated space for my office that is relatively quiet and private. However, the problem is a growing family would probably want 3-4 bedrooms (master, girls, boys, maybe spare). After that, you might want: * An Office * A Playroom * A living or family room that isn't in the excessively noisy "great room" * A dining room? That's a lot of space, and many families may not want all of that or any of that, but some might. Yet, nearly every house looks exactly the same and has roughly the same number of rooms in the same layout, give maybe ~5 variations. People may be willing to sacrifice a larger dining room if they could grab a space in the neighborhood that supplied a dining room-like place. People may be willing to sacrifice a playroom if there was a place where their kids (of various ages) could meet other kids in a safe way (e.g. a neighborhood room for toddlers). People may be willing to sacrifice a home personal office if their neighborhood had a "rent-a-private-office-for-not-much-money" a short walk away. None of these exist in the communities I see being built. There may be open grass parks or a community clubhouse, but that's not the same as the above. (Yes, I know the list of reasons - zoning, cars, etc. etc.)
