Not everyone can work remote. In fact I'd wager a majority, including many of those who think they can work remote, cannot. And teams dealing with remote workers is also a source of friction.

Remote work is only part of the solution. Urbanism, prioritizing transit & deprioritizing cars, increasing density are also parts

As many mentioned elsewhere, there's a halfway point that are remote offices - or coworking spaces or whatnot.

It is a source of friction, sure, but it also has a lot of positives.

I'm pretty sure there's an equilibrium point for on-site vs remote, but I also believe we're nowhere near that right now - and technology might keep bridging the gap to swing it even more towards the remote side.

I used to remote work in my old job... now I have a commute of at least an hour... and it’s only 17 miles :(
