It’s so obvious. I’ve never had a job that was possible to do from home, but everyone being home and off the roads helps so much. I had a driving job when covid hit. Everything about it was easier, faster and less stressful when most people were staying home, and oh would you look at that, driving when you’re less stressed is another way to save fuel because you’re less likely to thrash your car. Whether you’re able to personally do it or not, WFH benefits everybody. Well, all of the actual workers anyway, but we know how the Liberals feel about us already.
Edit: Ok maybe not everybody, I imagine cafes and whatnot that rely on people heading into the office likely struggle a bit. But you get my point.
Staying cooped up at home during the workday, and evening isn’t healthy.
With the money saved by not having to drive as far, people also have more disposable income and normal people can afford to walk down to their local cafe and buy a coffee before work, or take their beloved out for dinner after work.
Bookending a WFH day is also healthy for Work-Life balance.
You’d think it’s obvious, but every time any government or council tries to do something to improve public transport options or bike paths, both of which also take cars of the road and make it easier for drivers, people come from all over to complain about how they have to drive and therefore it’s a bad idea!

WFH benefits local cafes and restaurants.
