Much as I appreciate not having to commute in 9-5 every day at this point (and am mostly retired anyway), I think I'd pretty much have hated just working from home fresh out of school.
I wouldn't mind working in the office if it meant walking 15 minutes down the street in the morning but around here I would have to make 4x what I make to live near the office and even then it would be a commute because the offices are sequestered in these maze like office parks with no sidewalks.
So on days I'm in the office it's a choice between a 30 minute drive with terrifyingly bad drivers focused on their cell phones while careening around at 80mph or a peaceful but much longer train ride followed by a 20 minute walk crossing streets with those same dangerous drivers.
I guess it's yet another thing where the root problem is the design of our communities.
Well, I like living in the country and that means working in the city would be a 1 hour+ commute--whether by train or car.
Funnily enough, I actually lived almost next door to where I worked for about ten years near a suburban office park but people I knew would either perform scary manoeuvres to pick me up on the way into the office or I'd want my car to run a lunchtime errand or go somewhere after work so I didn't walk even though it was only 5-10 minutes.
