> I struggle to focus working from home

I'm curious how long is it going to take before employers get the clue and start charging those who come to the office for providing them a workplace so they don't have to manage with the same amount of work at home where they may even lack a separate room and be constantly bugged by whoever they live with (which is especially relevant in Europe where whole families use to live in single bedroom+livingroom apartments rather than dedicated houses).

In a way, that already sailed long ago. There exist rental office spaces. You get a desk, phone, internet hookup. Shared facilities like washrooms, kitchenettes, and meeting rooms. The desk might be in a shared room used by one or more other people who are unrelated. Mostly these rental offices are used by self-employed consultants, entrepreneurs or small business owners.

Yes, that's how much it is false that working from home is better for everyone. Some self-employed people pay for an office so they can get away from working at home!

Those places are good if you need a place to meet with clients.
