Covid might actually result in permanent changes. Sucks for a lot of commercial real estate companies. WeWork is probably 100% done
Also longer term a lot of housing stock will become les desirable and new residential housing will become bigger and more expensive.
Oh and H&S inspections will now have to be included

Here in Tokyo, I actually feel the opposite. WeWorks are quite busy again, but then again we didn't get hit as hard as the west. If I were a company with 100 employees, I'd get 50~ hotdesk spaces at my local coworking space chain and let employees come in up to 3 days a week whenever they feel like it.
Is productivity going up, or are workers more happy, or both?
I think it depends on the company and on the team. In my company, my productivity skyrocketed, while that of my work colleagues crashed. It largely correlated with things like tech literacy and being open to change. Where I work, there are a few people with who invested in nice WFH setups, work-life integration, and all the things needed to make this work, who found productivity going up. And then there is the majori…

On top of that, my guess is that WFH people will go out for lunch less often, so those restaurants won't just relocate to more residential areas, they (and their jobs), will just disappear.

And that's quite surprising to hear. I also live in Tokyo, but given how packed Chuo line/Shinjuku station in the morning for the past few weeks, it feels like everyone has already gone back to their regular office hours routine. :(
It certainly feels like that huh? I’m thankfully still working from home, but we haven’t had a permanent work from home announcement yet.
Thats really good. I wonder how UK companies will respond.
Management in the UK by and large sucks.

Sucks for the worker who now has to bear the cost of providing office space and internet connections and your local network.

Dragging my arse into an open office during a pandemic has killed my motivation completely.
I've gone from hard working to doing just enough not to get fired while I look for another job.

I'm curious, what all do you include when you think about a "nice WFH setup"? For me it's largely a defined space, a nice desk, a nice chair, and a nice monitor. Anything else on your list?
As for nice chair depending on your employer I would ask for the one from your job if its sufficient. I was able to take mine home. Its just gonna collect dust otherwise.

Don’t overlook the stress of living during a pandemic. Has absolutely ruined my productivity during WFH.
