I'm very much WFH a huge percentage of the time. I don't think I'm ever going to willingly go back daily or even weekly. There's little to no point. Our society also should want to encourage WFH as much as possible just for environmental benefits.

There’s a lot of psychological benefits to having much smaller communities. It’s been shown that after about 150 people, we tend to not do so well. Seems like the technology is there. The psychology is sound. And our mental health is critical.

The intent and WFH could mean we all live better. Nicer places. Less commuting. Everyone just, happier.

Sooooo….. 💁‍♂️
