I have very secure WFH and I moved in closer intentionally. It's been life changing, I got rid of my car, moved in to a high end inner city apartment, and fully embraced the lifestyle. The access to social experiences in the city is unmatched. I get access to all this stuff like a pool and gym that I couldn't or wouldn't pay for if I had to maintain it myself.
Living inner city kind of makes you a social hub where everyone wants to come to your place because it's super accessible by public transport so everyone can drink and hang out in the spa/steamroom/sauna and then walk out to the local pubs and restaurants.
Meanwhile I see all my rural family stagnating, getting addicted to drugs, stuck on welfare, and living subjectively depressing lifestyles.
