Yeah, people can adjust but it takes a couple of generations.
IMHO, telecommuting is over-rated. It’s the human interaction that counts most. From a social interaction point of view, I don’t believe that people want to be isolated in suburban homes and in neighborhoods that are socially and culturally dead.
Young people like the city and want interaction. My prediction is that there’ll be a move back to the city. Builders will have to build affordable communities where HOAs aren’t $500 like most of Downtown is right now.
I find the new planned cities being built in China with community parks and shopping very fascinating. Creative American architects are at work building those cities.
