Many folks are discovering a brave new world since Covid, probably the only upside (of Covid).
*Work from home coupla days a week, much to the chagrin of some cynical, change resistant control freak (sociopathic?) bosses!
*Shop more locally outside the CBD.
*Avoid the traffic congestion, parking expenses/hassles and increased pollution of the CBD.
* ...feel free to add other benefits to avoiding the CBD (in any major city, though particularly Melb and Syd).
Working from home is better for the environment.
Working from home is better for your mental health.
Working from home is better for the company (actual output has increased, counterintuitively)
Working from home is better for the locals.
.....but yes, some people who fork out big $'s to live and/or work in/from the city are suffering so its a 'big problem'. :
If it wasn't for footy matches and rock concerts, i would never go to the city and that suits me just fine.
