Completely agree on people building bonds in person, hard disagree that you need people in the office most of the time for it. My employer went full onboard with allowing people to choose if they want to work from home or in an office, we're very distributed (offices in many European cities, in the USA, Japan, etc.) with thousands of employees, having 1-2 events a year where we gather together has already been enough to develop bonds that we maintain remotely. I live in a city with amazing public transportation but I would not choose to commute again for work in my life, I prefer working from home and doing the odd trip to the office when I feel like it, it's enough to personally connect with people while also avoiding a lot of the pitfalls of office life.
