Honestly, I think the pandemic is driving some of this. And if you have a family, it's a lot easier to find space to comfortably work from home in a 3000 square foot suburban home than it is a 1500 square foot flat in the city. And with less people driving downtown, taking your car into the city for the symphony or a game is less of a chore. At least in Portland, Oregon, traffic jams have eased considerably in the last year. We'll see whether that persists, but I know my company is adopting a policy that will accommodate a lot more working from home long term.
