In HCOL cities in the USA, it can be tough to get a setup like this.

One may suggest to move cities, but my community is my friends in the city I live in. One may suggest getting new friends in a new city, but that's a tough and long process - friendships can take years to build, especially if I'm isolated and working from home.

I could move further out of the city, but now I'm commuting 1hr+ one-way to see my friends every day. The very commute that WFH was trying to get rid of.
