You get to control which office to go to. The HQs where I live are about 3-5 hours daily drive, or moving to a slummy place with insane rent.
Coworking spaces have very nice environments and public transport access. Small offices are usually away from other coworkers, but you can find something near a nice restaurant or next to your kid's school.
Also I'm not sure what you mean by putting your butt in a chair. Would you be working lying in a bed at home?
