Are you talking about the commuting or the work? Why would he be working at all? We only have to work now because resources are finite. When they are no longer finite what will be the point of working? I just need a food/water machine. If, for some reason, rent still costs then I'll just find the best paying manual labor job and send my robots off to work there.
Working on what I want to work on is fun. Making rich people even richer by rewriting the same kind of CRUD apps over and over is not remotely fun. It pays really well though.
