Ta Juana Tang, 45, bought a home in Frankfort, a southwestern suburb of Chicago, during the COVID-19 pandemic when she started working remotely. But when in-person work started to return, Tang’s commute became too much. In April, she sold her Frankfort townhome and purchased a four-bedroom home in West Town. “When you work in construction, I’m in the office at 7:00 (or) 7:15 a.m.,” said Tang, who owns a consulting firm that provides services to the real estate development industry.
