This is probably the second or third time I've talked about this, but uzique isn't here so it's OK.
The primary benefit to office space in my eyes is physical segregation between work and home life, and of course all the cabinets of legacy paperwork that don't have to exist in boxes somewhere in your apartment. But the benefits diminish when work is jumping down your throat at home anyway, demanding response to phone calls and emails after hours. Might as well not sit in 3 hours of traffic and risk your life at multiple interchanges just to go sit down at a remote office and listen to the fluorescent lights buzz as the flickering breaks your eyeballs. People can get stuff done a lot quicker when they're not spending hours a day in a state of highway hypnosis.
A lot of argumentation I've heard against WFH earlier was that it wasn't something truck drivers or delivery men could do. Well whoopty do, who was saying they could? It's obviously meant for the kinds of jobs that can be adapted to a laptop because it's the 2020s.
"Well, people just don't work at home. This doesn't work!" If people don't want to work at home, how come work kept bothering them at home since pre-COVID?
Aren't there a ton of stories about record profits? Where did the money go?

Sounds like a solid reason to curb the bulk of office commutes. Imagine insisting on breathing toxic ash just because you want to shoot the shit in the break room.
