> this provides a HUGE amount of employment and revenue

Sounds like an opportunity for businesses to open near where people live rather than where they work.

> encourages face to face socialisation which builds communities and social cohesion

Every time I've commuted to an office, I haven't been a part of the local community. I've been part of the community where I live. Working remotely I spend more time building actual social cohesion in my community.

> Society is not going to change to revolve around shut-in people haters. You're a minority. You're not normal.

Making small talk while the coffee is brewing is not a real relationship, if anything it sounds like you're the one advocating "people-hating." Maybe if you didn't spend so much time at the office you'd be able to socialize for real (you know, like a normal person).
