Damn, I had not thought of that. It's the opposite here as the public transport network is overburdened and underfunded, so they don't mind the daily commuters working from home instead. But of course I hadn't considered eateries. 🤔

Eateries can adapt though, as they adapted to commuters.

It hasn't always been the case that all eateries were only in major city centres. For a long time there were local cafes in small town/village centres that today just don't exist because there hasn't been anyone around in the day to eat at them.

I like the idea that we may see a return of more local cafes/restaurants (at least I see this being possible in my country), but I'm not sure how likely it is given the smaller turn over there's likely to be.

When I worked in an office there were often food vans that drove to each car park offering lunches. If they improved the lunches they offered I could also see something similar to this in suburban areas.
