Wouldn't it be more efficient for everyone to be in a smaller number of buildings to heat? Don't get me wrong as I love working from home, but we (California) ran into issues in summers 2020/2021 with people running individual ACs at home during the day causing higher demand than when we all crammed into offices.

I was thinking specifically in terms of gas shortages, but I'm not familiar enough with the power grid to know if and how much gas would be used in generating the electricity to know if that would be counter productive or not.
