[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remote work (accelerated by Covid and dim-witted CEOs finally realizing that paying for large office space doesn't help productivity and employee engagement along with climate change focus that realizes millions of people commuting to work everyday doesn't help the global warming cause) will change everything over the next 20 to 30 years. People will move to suburbs, ex-urbs, rural areas and still have a good paying job. This will depress existing cities even further and make lots of housing more "affordable" there, by default.[/quote]

Fantasy! Businesses will be going back to in-person. We are not going to a WFH utopia that y’all keep dreaming about. It’s cute but it’s not going to happen.[/quote]
Of course we are going to a WFH-heavy world. I don't think ex-urbs and rural will become the choice, though, because most people still value all the services, conveniences, and even 'safety in numbers' from climate threats that a city affords, and those services and conveniences create jobs. So a home office desk job from a city will be just as attractive as from an isolated farm.

Having said that, I'll admit, the concept of  'safety in numbers' from climate threats is a gut sense, and I have no strong opinion or information to back it up.[/quote]
