> Of course I always prefer remote work for companies in the same city. Being able to come in easily when necessary helps a lot.

I wouldn't really call this "remote work" though. I know the terms are a little fuzzy.

My favorite option is incredibly selfish for me. I love working from home relatively close to an office I can come into at any time I wish. This requires everyone else working in the office on a daily basis so I can come in as my whims desire.

That is not remote work though. That's working remotely for an in-office organization and it only works if you are in the extreme minority in some special positions. Fully remote orgs with no offices whatsoever are a different beast entirely in my mind and require much different organization and communication setups.
