>>Early in a new trend?

I could definitely see this as a trend. Rather than one big headquarters have 15-20 smaller neighborhood offices around a city available for employees to use when they need to get out of the house, have client meetings, etc.. Although I love working from home it would be nice to have somewhere to go a day or two a week to get out of the house.
