POLL: If 2-3 days a week of WFH happens post COVID, are you willing to live further away (20-40 mins drive from CBD) to save some dough or will still be in CBD?

Yes or No poll. Curious how much of a draw CBD still has on people. 

I'll go first, No for me. Still going to be in CBD for me post COVID. Living that far out is detrimental to dating/girls/mental health. But some will think otherwise. 

What are your sentiments toward citilivin post COVID?

Anecdotal, want to share a PWC survey regarding return to office below to get some discussions going. Strong sentiment from employees to never want to be back in the office again, crazy!

My pre-Covid commute was 22-ish minutes in the morning and 40-ish in the evening (5.2 hours a week). I'd move that to 1 hour each way if I only came into the office twice a week. And that 1 hour would probably be the equivalent of 1:15 or so pre-Covid given the likely reduced traffic. That would change everything.
