I think we as a society would benefit from evolving the "third place". A place that is neither work nor home where you can socialize. Like it or not, lot of people want remote work, so the best path forward is to adapt.
Maybe it’s time for society to work on that drinking habit, eh?
Sure, if you live in a very amenity-poor area WFH may in fact be quite isolating - but if anything that reinforces the main thrust of the argument: live in a city where there are things to do other than working and hanging out with coworkers!
I think it’s realistic that social media and VR will just completely take over.
This is traffic nuisance but also makes the streets relatively safe (on average).
I just wish a “third place” culture would spontaneously arise if only to decongest the roads.
