Drive less. Commutes are dangerous, expensive, and mentally taxing. You would have to earn 40% more money at a job with a one hour commute to be equally satisfied with a local job.
Insufficient details there. It matters how long the shift is and how often you have to work, for example.
I prefer to live in 10-20 minutes walking distances from a place of work. If the time can be reached by public transport or bicycle that is fine too. One can factor in the money saved on transportation, or even the time saved on traveling to justify a slightly higher rent.
Many people who work from home a lot get an office someday.
Frankly, I have no desire to be one of those people. The ones that work a lot that is. Sure, if there isn’t a better way to get a lot of stuff done I may have to but it seems highly intrinsically undesirable to me!

Having a place of work that I have to go to sounds like such a burden. These days I only commute to socialise. :)
Walking over to your desk is below the 10minute line. Many people who work from home a lot get an office someday.

People who work from home have reduced work/life barriers, and IIRC, that’s been shown to usually have a significant negative impact on happiness.
