>but I disagree that there isn't something to be gained from having people be in the same physical location to achieve a common goal.

So then I assume you also reject Full time work from home?

I can not think of a single reason why Congress needs to be in the same physical location to read a bill, take public comment on a bill, then vote on if that bill is good for their community or now. That is the SOLE and ONLY function of the US House of Representatives.

If they are doing other things, well that is beyond their scope of work and should be curtailed.

Full time remote work can be done for a lot of jobs, but even those you would agree that occasional in-person time helps. I'm not taking an absolute position one way or another.
