Home telecommuting village aims to cut commutes and boost time at home
Alvin Toffler style plan envisions 80 to 90 percent of work done at home with 40 mile commutes reduced for some executives like Oliver Sasse. Eaglecrest in Placer County features circular home plots on a ridge overlooking the North Fork American River and a shared community center. Developers see potential for up to 15 percent of a large workforce telecommuting within five years and up to 60 percent of office jobs could be performed remotely, while managers emphasize staying visually connected and scheduling periodic in-person meetings.
