Going in to do video calls makes no sense because the office video setup cannot realistically be made better than my home setup.
It needs to be 100% in-person, because that is better than video calls.
It's like, imagine that I arrange to meet a friend in a pub, but he suggests a phone call instead. I can go to the pub and make the phone call from the pub. But why?
The commute is a non issue, put the office in the city centre and I live within max half an hour of you. That's the entire point of cities.
I don't particularly care for the argument that others post here along the lines of "I live hours from the office/in another state/whatever". That's fine, I don't go to the supermarket in the next town over either...
