I guess the promise of remote work is a lot about the promise of not having to pay premium for space. I can't help thinking though that once remote work become more common the same thing would happen to nice places in smaller towns as have happened to nice places in cities.
With a home office, you don't have to put on pants to go to work. It's always beckoning. Although, your small town might be relaxed about walking around pantless, the walk alone will help give some hysteresis between switching from work mode to home mode.
