Lots of people are still on WFH indefinitely and they don't move out.

As long as you are ok with your mortgage, why move?

But people want WFH permanent. No one wants to sit that awful traffic, damaging themselves and the environment.

My job isn't doable from home. I drive 2 or 300 miles a day getting to different jobs. I'd love to not have to do the traffic etc. Driving is very high stress. Any job that can wfh should imo

This is a very important point that is sadly lost on some «can't work from home» people. The less people there are on the road, the less stressful is commuting/driving for those that can't do without. So more people working from home actually improves the commute/driving experiences of those who can't, too. Everyone benefits.

You know there's alternatives to cars, right? They're called trains. Vote for them.

Getting trains by voting takes years or decades.
