&gt;high density housing, pollution<p>Low density housing and sprawl are actually worse for the environment btw. You have a clear bias against urban living. That&#x27;s your opinion and that&#x27;s totally ok, but the cultural trend is definitely back towards higher density urban living.<p>I&#x27;m a fan of periodic, 1-2 days a week remote work. But I don&#x27;t like working on fully remote teams, and I&#x27;ve worked with managers who are very experienced and enthusiastic about it. Yes, remote working CAN improve quality of life, but it harms collaboration and communication and shifts a lot of burden onto the managers. This isn&#x27;t cultural, it&#x27;s simply what happens when you put people further apart.<p>To be clear, I dream of a day where collaboration remotely works really well. I&#x27;d like to live in a smaller city one day where I don&#x27;t always have to worry about finding a job.
