WFH solves way problems than it creates. Helps with housing costs.
Solves the traffic problem and reduce the number of accidents. Gives people tons of extra time to be with their families. Allows people to live where they want to live instead of where they have to live. Allows families to down size to one car. Reduces air pollution. Can reduce the need for child care. WFH is here to stay. And resort communities will benefit.

WFH creates the same environment that Singapore has painstakingly developed. Many self-sufficient towns outside DT… so that residents in those towns don’t need to go to DT.

To hot for me. 2 weeks in the tropics and I am done. Too many bugs. High humidity is debilitating.
