I'd think there'd be more energy consumption because people working from home are still going to want to socialize and socially network

... Will remote work mean they move from city apartments to sprawling suburban homes, which use, on average, three times more energy? Will they buy cars? Will they be electric or gas-powered SUVs?...

They will live where they want to live, and they will drive what they want to drive.

I find it amazing that these folks would want us all stuck on the parking lots known as freeways twice a day to save a few tons of CO2. Or maybe they just want us all forced onto trains.

If the left can’t kill us with the vaccination they want to herd us all together in high rises.

Remember the indoor smoking ban? Remember unintended consequences?

It's hot here so smokers from the nearby apartments sit in their cars so they can be air conditioned while they smoke.

Not sure what they are smoking but sometimes the cars are there for hours.

That'll protect the environment from fossil fuels.

An article like this exists for one of two reasons. Either it fits into the model of article which is “everything you do is wrong and you should feel guilty about it”, which is an extremely popular format -or- it’s a rather pathetic propaganda attempt to push people back to the city because having suceededly wildly in scaring everyone *out* of the cities, the Left is now coming slowly to the realization they have destroyed the economic basis of the cities.
