Could be. Although I think it'll depend a lot on how long this lasts. I could see some places not reopening their offices until a vaccine, at which point people may have gotten pretty comfortable with not commuting.

It also depends on how hiring happens. Right now I'm involved with a startup that intended to be fully collocated. But since right now the people we hire are regardless working remote, it's very tempting to hire people wherever they are.

Even if most companies end up nominally back in offices, I think this is going to break the inertia that supports a lot of the "you must always work in the office" rules. So I think we'll see a lot more flexibility in scheduling.
