One issue is that lots of people don't have the work space at home. It takes a lot of privilege to have an extra room for office. Lots of people managed to work from other places in house during pandemic because they had to.

Coworking spaces are one solution. But many disappeared during the pandemic. Also, somebody needs to pay for them. I bet we'll see a lot more of them using the empty commercial space. But they will work best near residential areas.

Why does it take privilege? I worked for many years in a studio apartment and made just slightly over the poverty line and, although the pay sucked, the wfh was awesome and doable even on a nothing budget.
