If one were to exist, how would you imagine it would be different from the typical suburb that most remote workers are moving to now?
It’d need to appeal to a younger crowd, not just families. So it would need to have bars/restaurants/other cultural destinations.
Since almost no one needs to commute, it wouldn’t be designed around the car and driving. So would need some mechanism for people to receive deliveries and go get other goods from local stores without having to get in a vehicle.
I think it would be a good idea for there to be communal kitchens and dining halls. I’m thinking most people would want to get food delivered or sit out in a public space for lunch, but would get together with other households and cook for dinner. Large dining halls would be great for frequent festivals and celebrations.
The idea that working from home means you have no need for a car is naive at best.
Even when I last worked in an office full time, going to work was one of the few things I used public transport for, it was non-work things I used the car for.
“Large dining halls” sounds like one of two things: you’re either describing a school lunch room, or a post apocalyptic bunker. The idea that “most people want to order food” is either staggeringly wrong or depressingly right about your part of the world.
Literally the only things a “built for remote workers” housing project needs, is slightly larger houses with some dedicated space for working. That’s it. That’s what’s different about working from home. You work from home.
Does a suburb preclude community? Not necessarily; baron816's vision is exactly that of a suburb that does not exclude it. But in current practice, yes, a suburb pretty much does exclude community.
Most people who move to the suburbs do so as a compromise between being close to the city (jobs, shopping, culture) and further away from other people. That is, getting away from others is part of the point - it's part of why people move to the suburbs. They're not looking for community. (As I said, most people. It's not 100%.)
Given that, most suburbs don't provide much structural support for community, either. (If people aren't looking for it, it would be a waste anyway.) They don't usually have a community center, not even an unofficial one, like a diner or a pub. (I should qualify that - first ring suburbs often have at least a diner or a pub, though second ring suburbs often don't.) There aren't stores within the suburb - that is, not within walking distance - so you have to drive to get to anywhere, unless you're explicitly going to a neighbor's house. And your neighbors aren't walking anywhere, either. There might be a park, but it's big enough that you can be separate from others who are there. "Community" becomes "When I'm out working in my yard and my neighbors drive by, I wave".
What would make it different? Start by explicitly intending to be different, so you attract people who want to be different. Then give them support. Have a community center. (Figure out how it's going to be funded, or it's going to die.) Figure out a way to have stores and shops within the neighborhood - walking distance to people - and yet have the stores get enough business to survive. Maybe create joint garden plots between houses, so that 1) people don't put up fences between houses, and 2) people have something to do together.
Who makes a buying decision about where to live based on "random desks"?
Surely working comfortably from home primarily depends on all the usual factors that determine which home you move into, which for almost all buyers will have nothing to do with living near other remote workers. Where is the value?
