The moment I posted the comment, I was like, "Crap, forgot about kids."

Yeah.

Our solution was to install a lock. Are you in a situation where you can do the same thing?

The lock happened to be to our basement, which isn't exactly a nice place to work in. But it was effective. A lockable side room might make all the difference.

Our house doesn't have any extra rooms for an office. My office is the corner of the living room. There is nothing to lock.

If you're permitted to WFH indefinitely, you can move somewhere cheaper and buy a larger home for the same or lower price.

Many people like living where they are for reasons in addition to it's close to an office. And most of them will have an option to go into an office as was the pre-pandemic case although it may not be the same experience any longer for better or worse.
