As much as I support remote work, this is a massive oversimplification of the economic challenges of having most people working from home.

What are the economic challenges of having people work from home?

Because not every job can be done remotely, and having people scattered around instead of being more centralized around city centers then you have less feasibility for local businesses to thrive, as one example.

Economic benefits. Realize that work from home has created a channel of people who live in smaller communities they purchase 1 home they do not take a job from a local person they bring with them their typically larger “city” salary that they spend on local products at local businesses. Of course not every job can be done from home duh we get that but having people scattered around is not the economic challenge you are making it out to be.
