I was happiest when I had a quiet separate office with AC and temperature control. It was about 15 minutes walk from my home. I would definitely return.

But I don't think I would have ever chance for something similar. Now all offices are open space and housing unaffordable close to offices in my area.

So I will be probably working remotely forever. Which is OK.

The AC thing is a good point. I was always uncomfortably hot in the office, and would have to bring a t-shirt to change into (and sometimes shorts) while everyone else was in hoodies or sweaters. It's hard to compromise on that sort of thing, or noise / interaction levels, group outings, etc. One person's preferences are another's nightmares.
