I tend to agree in that coming in only one or two days a week gives you some greater flexibility in where you live, but only some. For a lot of people whose companies are in expensive urban areas, WFH a few days per week means they need more housing than they might otherwise need but they can't move somewhere that's cheaper/preferable.

And while teams can coordinate time in the office, the more people are mostly remote the less value there is in others coming in.

>Obvious choice #1 is near extended family. What else motivates people to move?

They like the environment more? I work with someone who just ditched their downtown city apartment and bought a place on the coast of Maine.
