Nhialmajierjongkuch, I hear you on the commute reduction, but let's run the numbers. That morning drive is maybe 30 minutes. But now I'm running my home office for 8 hours—heat, AC, lights, and a monitor that's on all day. And here's the kicker: offices don't magically turn off. They're still heated, cooled, and lit for cleaning crews, security, and the few people who trickle in. So you're double-counting energy. You're adding home consumption without subtracting office consumption. It's like a Nash equilibrium where everyone thinks they're optimizing but the system gets worse. The real move is fewer total buildings, not just shifting where the energy's used.
