Does it matter if your commute is 2 miles, 30 miles, 50 miles? 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 75 minutes? For many people, that is what makes WFH a big part of the decision. When they have kids, or for any other reason want a nicer home, in a nice area, that can be bought for half the price near offices that are typically metropolitan with high demand and low supply, then a commute becomes part of the equation. Do you want to spend 2 hours a day on top of your 8 hours of working, sitting in traffic? Or would you rather have 2 hours more at home, with family -- or even working for your employer because you feel like it?
Funny story: woman kept complaining that she comes to work everyday and she doesn't understand the big deal for those who don't want to and want WFH. Months later, the company moved offices from SF to the South Bay. She was very vocal about how her 10 min commute was now going to be 45 minutes or more. Don't you love it when people suddenly realize why other people had been fighting for something-not-that-unreasonable?
