I agree. Being a remote worker for almost 3 years allows me saving time on commute, even for a 3 mile ride by bus or on foot, which take same time. A part of that, home office allows less physical intrusion and collaboration tools fill this gap whenver needed.

This article points out business reasoning on saving money by multiple companies if more of them set up to reduce commuting. Sao Paulo loses about $5M dialy with traffic accidents, pollution and delays. Companies deploying teleworking surelly will have talent attraction force to compete with the other and a more impornt social development role.

It seems very positive change for the next few years.
