> Most will just give up on comfort, where WFH is an option to be in a better situation.
It’s also an option to be in a worse situation. My office is all setup for work and has the best perk, I can physically leave work behind each day.

You can also have a room setup for work at your home.
The use of vertical space is real. Family of four, 2bdrm 1100 sq ft divided across three floors. I'd love another room. Do they sell those at Costco? Can I put it on the lawn?
I work from home full time, and while it was harder in the beginning, the click of the KVM button and putting my work phone on the charger is enough of a signal.

Bad news. The front lawn is only 9 feet across. There is no back yard. Sorry for not being clear and up front in the requirements.
Given that this is probably something north of $25K by the time you pay for everything though, it's not obviously a better deal than just getting something custom built from some plans.
It is basically a shed with a nice front window, as it says on the tin.
If you are sitting on your bed, a kitchen table, or some other like space then i question how much work you can actually get done.
Also people are TERRIBLE judges of their own productivity, most people claim their productivity sky rockets when at home, were alot of data shows this not the be the case as time is focused on household items, cleaning, taking care of children, laundry, netflix, etc.
people that are successful at WFH and where doing it before COVID has a dedicated space for "work" in the home. With a Door they could close to block out all other household interruptions focusing on work, and would take defined breaks just like if you were in an office.
Now I've been remote for many years and am happy to say I've trained myself to watch my hours and leave work even though I'm home. I change my slack status, minimize all work apps and walk away. When I come back to my computer for something personal in the evening I don't look at work. It took some practice, but closing things down walking worked for me. Now if I could only stop solving work problems as I try to fall asleep...
Some people will also have no specific reason to want to live alone and can join dormitories or share houses. Some don't even need a stable home and can join military camps etc.
We all have different thresholds of what we want or can deal with in our lives.
