Interesting finding! Perhaps work location alone isn’t a strong enough driver when people decide where to live.But remote work does change commuting needs—less time, more flexibility—so it may still gradually reshape residential preferences in the long run.Curious to see how this evolves over time!

This illustrates loss aversion in prospect theory. Coupled with a herd mentality—companies assume their peers are all digitally transforming and replacing large numbers of employees with AI—this fear of missing out on technology-driven gains reaches its peak.

Curious how ABMs could better reflect agents’ subjective reference frames—like how prior experiences or origin contexts shape perception.Even simple acts (e.g. reviewing a restaurant) hinge on what “better” means to that agent.
Maybe system realism lives in such framing.
