According to what average? In the US, it’s harder than ever to afford a family if you live in a big city. And the best jobs are in big cities.

Edit: Growing up lots of kids had a stay at home parent. That doesn’t seem to exist anymore, which isn’t just bad for kids but for communities.

Will that still be true in 5 years after work from home is even more commonplace?

That's an absurd gamble.

If it's true in 5 years then you potentially maximise your misery.

If it's not then you might be happier, but the dynamics of things will have shifted greatly.

When betting it's usually best to bet on the status quo continuing, that's why the odds on incumbents keeping power is always higher.
