Great! Everybody go back to your 2-kids 2-cars front yard suburb home! More comuting for everyone means we can all equally contribute to global warming! Good job folks!
I could see this going either way for emissions. On one hand people being forced to go into the office requires them to make a daily commute which adds emissions. On the other hand though people being able to work remotely encourages even more sprawl and car dependence for other every day tasks. If you start working remotely in the middle of nowhere you might be commuting less but driving further for other tasks.
Depends on the layout of housing outside big cities/suburbs. In my area, there are numerous villages where you can go the market at least once a week, get basic services without having to drive long distances.
