On the other hand,

- support remote working

- have better housing closer to where people work

- if people want to commute an hour each way, that's on them

The issue with commuting is people have partners who work elsewhere so commuting is a compromise.

WFH solves this and allows commutes of up to 12000 miles.

Eh, I have a 90 minute commute and I don't mind because I go by train. Three hours a day to read! I love it.

Granted I wfh 2/3 days a week; if I had this commute every day I'd probably feel differently.

Very good point.

(Excuse the smugness here, but I've wanglee a four day week WFH and my life is amazing)

for me it was 30 minutes commute for only 2 days a week, usually at least one direction was carpooling with a coworker so beyond tolerable, even enjoyable at times. but more than 1 hour while driving x5 days would be a no-no for me.
