There are plenty of reasons to live in a city that have nothing to do with work. I can walk to the library, cafe, grocery store, park. I can ride a bike to the beach, go to the opera, shows, etc.

I mean, I can't go to the opera _right now_, but soon enough I can.

Some of us actually enjoy it, though.

I'm saying that the reason cities are such expensive places to live is because a lot of people want to live there, because their work is there. If you aren't actually working in the city, you're paying a premium for something you're not using.

There are very good schools outside of cities, as well as good hospitals. There are also plenty of beautiful towns with tons of shops and whatnot within walking distance, or a short bike ride. And they are a lot cheaper to live in than a city.

The article isn't about tech workers and people can decide to work from bed for reasons other than a lack of space. I've seen my partner do it for comfort reasons because her job involves reading huge amounts (on an iPad), but as an engineer I would never consider it.

You might be OK but what about your kids? They need to attend good schools and have good healthcare support where they grow up.
