What sucks in the USA is that Trump canceled all the tax deductions home workers could take, just in time for COVID to make home work the norm for millions of people. And those deductions haven't been restored. So now we foot the bill for all the electricity and space required to do our work. People also ignore these costs when arguing for "densification." Now that we spend even more time at home, people who want to make that home a little nicer and more spacious are vilified. OMG, you want a patch of yard? ELITIST. Never mind that everyone's dinky patch of yard could come out of the tracts of dying, boarded-up malls and empty office parks and defunct commercial/industrial zones... and the parking lots that surround them.
