The office serves only one purpose: to keep people in the city. The city exists to house the masses who own nothing, who live in rented accommodation, use public transport, buy useless fast tech as status symbols to show off, fast fashion for the same reason, and order takeaway food with all the massive waste of packaging etc. etc. etc. It serves no other purpose and, in particular, it isn't sustainable in terms of scale/natural resources. Whether you like it or not, technology defines the era: when we moved from bronze to iron, those still using bronze were slaughtered by those who had iron. Today, technology dictates Distributism because, like it or not, the "new deal" works through things like domestic p.v. with small-scale storage, an EV integrated in the garage, not skyscrapers and massive solar power plants. Digital tools work well when you HAVE to use them, so you're forced to do it properly or you fail; in other words, by working remotely. In person, steps are "skipped" leaving information gaps and creating inefficiency, and so on and so forth.
