I worked at home for 9 years and then I had kids. (They are great kids but they make working at home hard.) That was enough for me to not want to work at home anymore. I then got a new job, and then covid-19 hit and I am working at home again. Argh!
We can structure our choice of house around kids, e.g. an attached office with separate entrance. An office complex with facilities and maintenance costs on the order of $600/mo per desk, which is about what a city commute costs.
