Food service companies are working on increasing their home order businesses.
There are faster turnaround times now in the shipping business.
Home schooling is increasing as well.
It is only reality for a small number of people. Most jobs are not office jobs. I've worked from home myself and made a lot of money doing it, but anecdotes of people working from home don't mean that it is feasible on a large scale, and, even if it were, it would probably not be desirable due to the isolation that it can produce.

The fact is that the majority of jobs require you to come to the plant and do physical labor. That means a long commute for most suburbanites.
