Really, everyone should have places to meet and work in person, not just people employed by corporations. I wonder how these spaces could be configured to help clubs, hobby groups, support groups, political organizations, volunteer groups, part-time workers, and other people who may have difficulty finding a space to meet.

True, did not say against this.

Plenty already exist, and you can even choose what kind you prefer.

Support your local restaurant, bar, library, etc.

You don't need an office or a school for that. However, we as a society somehow made all the activities outside office and school awkward, inconvenient or expensive.

True, did not say against this. Just a place, not necessarily a school.

Yes, we should build better places. That is the whole sentiment.

This might be an excellent chance to improve public libraries.

The logical conclusion is that if the poll is accurate, we only need 6% of the space currently allocated for office space.

It wouldn't disappear, it would only be severely reduced.

You can have real life interactions outside of office life. It might even be more meaningful.
