my neighborhood used to be quite during the work day since most people were in the loop for the 9-5 job, now the loop is quite during the work day and my neighborhood is bustling all day every day
People keep saying this...

But what they aren't considering is that being walking distance or a quick transit ride to work was a major consideration in where one lives. Its one element in how we pick where to live, but its incredibly important.


I would bet a larger percentage of former urban residents will move away to the burbs or the region entirely if they go remote than a remote worker in Ohio or the suburbs moving to the city at this point.
