I'm afraid you missed my point of the last paragraph
I'm not saying "let's all get back to the office". I'm saying "let's keep the offices too"
And I do have social structure outside of work. With WFH everyone is far away (offices are rather closer to the centre than the sleep districts) and have to commute before we can meet
I don't understand your argument about commuting. So you have to commute to go visit people...and this is somehow new for you? Are all your best friends at the same company? Otherwise how does that make it any different to literally anyone else? If I want to see my friends I gotta get into a vehicle or transport my body in some way to see them and vice versa. You're commuting either way.
When I work from the office I have already commuted in the morning. Wherever they want to meet I have straightforward, short commute and am dressed. Just get up and go. And when there is someone willing to go out of the house, there is smaller possibility that we'll end up on discord where only one person can speak and there's no way to have more than one topic in the group at the time
When I work from home everything becomes bleak. You have to get dressed, commute will take longer and have more changes and you start wondering if there's a point in going out (in case of for example concerts or exhibitions instead of meeting with friends). Everything stops having a point somehow. I am no longer part of the city, I'm just another body inside four walls
