> 4. For a huge swath of Americans at least, work is an escape from the drudgery of the home.

This is big. If I had a fancy apartment in a good quality building, I wouldn't mind.

But the place I currently reside in, is really frustrating to spend your whole day. I can easily hear my neighbours talking, their pets, screeching children or construction work many floors above. The ceilings are also quite low, which amplifies the cabin fever.

If I could escape, from time to time, to an office where my friends work, it'd be increase my life quality a lot.

And I'm saying this as a person who's not a fan of offices and forced asses-in-seats.
