I have certainly found this to be true. When I took a job with a remote-first startup last year, I lived on the opposite side of North America from its headquarters. My family has since moved (for almost entirely unrelated reasons!) and we now live within walking distance. I come into the office almost every day, even though it is mostly empty, because the walk is pleasant and the quiet office is a good place to get work done. If I had to drive here, or take the bus, I would almost certainly stay home instead.
