it wouldn't be coworkers in a perfect world.
employer rents a desk/office in a larger facility (or multiple) and allows office working staff to travel less.
like a gym membership. sign up to one, use any of the same companies gyms. but with a desk or office, you can book ahead.
no central office with people commuting 40+ mins each way, less need for public transport, could also lower cost of renting an entire building/parking/insurance etc
I can work from home for the most part but would be nice to be able to take 10-15 minutes to walk or ride to an office and use the resources of an office. and play table tennis
