What have half of your points got to do with anything?<p>Not knowing who you live around is because that&#x27;s not within the culture, if your life was based around where you live rather then where you work (and was the same for everyone) I&#x27;m sure that would change.<p>Your whole point about going for drinks or inviting people round is irrelevant; the point is people will be able to build local friend groups rather than work friend groups.<p>&quot;Whatyagonna do? Shift your whole life around just to try and avoid that?&quot;<p>Well, my whole life gets flipped around everytime I can&#x27;t et home to my kids before they sleep because of an incident on the tube or the roads.<p>I think you mostly missed my point - you looked at your life today and decided that working from home won&#x27;t work for you - you&#x27;re completely ignoring all of the issues with central working locations.<p>Someone claiming these are my problems is nonsense; a lot of people feel the same; we are in a mental health crisis and families are under massive strain because fathers are away from their children for so long. Nobody is saying that you have to change but a lot of people are saying that the current system is causing serious issues to living standards.<p>Your comment about having to shift your whole life around is unreasonable and shows you haven;t thought about this outside of your situation. Every father I speak to, every couple that can&#x27;t afford a house near work that I speak to, they all agree. Housing crisis, family crisis, mental health crisis; they are all heavily contributed to by this issue.<p>I used to be 22 and living in shoreditch, I didn&#x27;t care about these issues back then either. When I don&#x27;t get home in time to see my kids before bed tonight because some idiot crashes their car and delays thousands of people, I&#x27;ll just say to my wife WHATYAGONNA DO!??? Can&#x27;t be flipping my life around!!!
