Remote work is rapidly becoming more popular, and it has the potential to profoundly disrupt America's cities. This trend could have a devastating impact on urban areas, resulting in reduced commerce and employment opportunities, as well as skyrocketing real estate prices due to increased competition for rental housing and single-family homes. Additionally, if traditional offices become obsolete, so too will the jobs that depend on them—including office support personnel and janitorial staff. Moreover, public transportation systems that rely heavily on commuters could face diminished ridership, leading to decreased revenues and major service reductions. Another concern is the loss of social connections that come with shared workspaces; remote workers often experience isolation and alienation from their colleagues. It would behoove local governments to begin strategizing now about how they can adapt their cities to accommodate these changing dynamics while still protecting their economies and communities.

This shift is largely due to the fact that robots can do things like collect rent and manage repairs more efficiently than a human can. As a result, this new trend is likely to have a big impact on the rental market in the years to come. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

The study found that market housing tenants faced above-average challenges in all aspects, while community housing tenants fared better. Limited housing affordances by tenure was reported as a difficulty for both renters groups. Most respondents were satisfied with neighborhood accessibility, but some issues were reported, such as lack of public transit and access to private outdoor spaces. Addressing housing vulnerability also means addressing housing instability, lack of housing affordances, or lack of access to neighborhood amenities. To build long-term community resilience, public policies should pay attention not only to housing adequacy but also to residential stability and the quality of life that homes and neighborhoods provide.
