Malaysia Sun:
Condominium developers in the U.S are building special sites to promote the work from home concept.
The U.S Census Bureau’s most recent estimate, raised the number of home-based workers to 4.5 million, an increase of slightly more than 7% in only 3 years.
But, while work from home might be a solution for traffic congestion, rising fuel costs, parking and the mounting price of leased office space, local councils haven’t yet caught up with the idea.
Building codes in most municipalities don’t yet have provisions for residential-commercial hybrids, and the commercial use property is usually rated a lot higher.
Permitted uses and costs are generally spelled out in condo association documents and by the local councils, but the idea of saving money by not paying separate rents for living space and work space, as well as reducing transportation costs, is catching on.
