I think it would lead to an increase in socialization. I am unable to join service leagues or social organizations because the 4-5 hours between work and sleep at night are precious to me and my family. If I did not have that thought hanging over my head, I would volunteer more or just go do social things more in a formal setting.

I think others would echo that sentiment.

I think this is really up to the individual, when I "work from home", I frequently go to artsy cafes around my city to be surrounded with people who are doing different things to get some human interaction (and maybe feel a bit younger than I do sitting behind a desk).

Being in the proximity of other people is really no substitute for real human interaction.

I live in a pretty small city, going basically anywhere is a guarantee for running into friends. It’s not the same when I’m in other places
