I know multiple people first hand who moved away from their expensive homes to cheaper and bigger ones during the pandemic when WFH became a standard.
There are exactly zero ways you can force those people from their homes back to city apartments. Their kids go to school in the new city, their SOs might have in-person jobs there, they have a huge yard and better quality of living. Some of them theoretically work under an hour away from their current job.
If companies force WFH, they will just quit and find a new remote-only job.

- jen20 4y agoDell is in Round Rock which has precisely zero train options besides the model railway exhibition each December, so unless you’re one of the Borrowers, you’re talking crap.
- TexanFeller 4y agoRound Rock is near where a lot of those large and cheap houses are in the first place. The people in small and expensive apartments downtown moved near Round Rock or Cedar Park during the pandemic.
- jen20 4y agoIt’s where they _were_ before the pandemic. All the way out to Leander costs princely sums for cookie cutter suburbs these days. I doubt Dell have adjusted their pay to accommodate that.
- verall 4y agoOur model railway runs hourly but it doesn't go to round rock :P
- Gigachad 4y agoI was talking generally about most companies, but if Dell does have an office in the middle of nowhere, then I guess they will have problems.
