That was predicted decades ago, when telecommuting was hyped, and the opposite happened.
Yes, I agree with this. But a lot of trends stop and then reverse themselves.
ETA: Upon further reflection, my best guess is that this trend will continue. Because people crave status; even in a society of plenty there is a limited amount of status; and it's high status live in or near an important city.
what is status in a world thats moved out of the age of scarcity that humans have been in since existence?
I really don't think there will be any kind of status except maybe politics. How can you be certain that in a society of plenty "there is a limited amount of status"? No society has ever been there before.
To your first point, I agree. Comparing the past to the future, saying well we weren't right about telecommunting's consequences so we definitely cant now be correct about a different technologies consequences is silly.
