How is a construction worker or teacher supposed to remote work? The problem is not that people like us can't afford to move, but that the average employee in normal other work roles cant. Sweden is much better at this, but I think even there I didn't meet anyone who telecommuted who wasn't in the tech industry.
All over the world people really do do remote learning, even at primary school level.
Another fun thing you see in Sweden is prefabricated houses. In England, prefabs have a horrid reputation from the war years, but modern Swedish houses and flats are assembled from large prefabricated sections that arrive on a lorry and are assembled in just a day or two.
Remote learning for primary school requires a significant amount of time on the part of the parent, and lots of communal time for the children so that they develop adequate social skills.
Prefab has been a force particularly in commercial and industrial construction in the US for some time. My company has done a lot of work in the design and construction of standardized/commoditized hospital rooms, for example. It makes construction like an exercise in Legos :-)
