To me it (the sudden acceptance of WFH, not covid-19 obviously) has been the Best Thing Ever. I loathed commuting 60+ minutes to my desk job and wearing noise cancelling headphones so I didn't need to have impromptu 'chats' with lonely people. I loathed that 600 sqft apts in Berkeley were $3000/month. I loathed that remote positions are few and far between, and, now that I'm an employer, the number of workers who are used to working 100% remote were few and far between. I loathed seeing my wife only ~4 waking hours per day. This sudden shift to everybody-wfh has been the greatest vindication of my work- and life-style.

Pools are one of the few things I'll miss, as they are truly communal. Even billionaires generally don't have private 25m+ pools (from what I've gather from those $50M real estate listing videos on youtube).
