I don't think so.
Much more likely that people themselves are tired of looking at the wall of the box room, or at their own family.
Certainly road traffic levels are up also, but blended working is only going to become more normalised, not less. There's a good chance that the Government will mandate a reduction in physical commuting again, if not for fuel shortage reasons, then to meet emissions targets.
I've noticed the park and ride spaces up from Clonsilla train station are all fully occupied again on week days. That's the first time I've seen this since pre Covid. I'm wondering are more and more companies taking the Twitter approach of expecting workers back in the office full time again?
Well that was new, I get the train at clonsilla every morning, i cycle and the traffic levels are fine. Today I got a lift and the traffic is at complete gridlock so much so I jump out near the new St Joseph's housing estate and upon entry to the station I noticed the traffic backed up right over the rail bridge.
I'm not looking forward to the traffic when my WFH ends. All back to the rat race.
Wow, traffic all along the manorfield drive which is normal at 8.30am but the entire ongar road from allendale to powercity completely jamed, then 2/3rd of the road beside the canal at clonsilla Station and complete gridlock both ways just over the canal and tracks at clonsilla Station, all of this and not one new house built in the fields at the back on hansfield yet.

Add that to the 350 apartments planned behind St Mochta's school and you have 500+ apartments feeding traffic on to the Clonsilla Road (as a cul de sac, if the level crossing is closed). All happening right beside a primary school. Housing needed yes, but I don't agree with pushing all that extra traffic on to the Clonsilla Rd, right beside a primary school. Let's hope they all cycle!

This is beside the canal at clonsilla going upto St Joseph hospital which is resulting in people walking and cycling on the road for 40 or 50 feet. Old screenshots photo.
