     @alloydflanagan very true. But no way they’re going to pay more to make this an affordable option.

     @patrickcmiller The cost of housing within commuting distance of these offices is also a big factor.

     @dbc3 great list. Corporate greed will never go for this in the U.S.

     If companies want workers physically present in office:
     • pay for time spent commuting
     • pay for travel cost - mileage allowance,/parking or pub transp
     • provide free lunch
     • pay for childcare, dogsitter
     • create a friendly, fun atmosphere - not "get in your cube and work heads down, slave"

     In other words, make them WANT to go to office. Otherwise, gfys.
