Future? No, that's the dead past, when people had to live jammed together because communication was limited to the speed of foot, horse, or sailing ship.
The future lies in figuring out that most of us don't actually have to move our physical bodies to and from an office every day in order to make a living. So you can keep the suburban house if you like, live in the country (as I do), or even choose to be an urbanite. (Gawd knows why anyone would actually want to live in a city, but different strokes...)
So I can (and have) work in (that is, for employers & work teams nominally based there) Silicon Valley and Europe while living in northern Nevada, and keep on working for my local clients while I (temporarily) lived in either of those places.
