      WFH being taken from folks is just about real estate. Yet another reason why capitalism is gonna kill us all. You know how you get a bunch of cars off of the road? WFH.

        It’s not going to kill us. It will all correct as other companies displace these that aren’t able to maintain competitive advantage. It just takes time.

        Covid threw a wrench in the works that forced change faster than the establishment was ready to take on. The data is out there, the costs and benefits are evident and transparent. Those in positions of power only adjust when there is no other option left… and it’s coming… but it takes time…

        There are three other options:

        1. Good Public Transit
        2. Somewhat working Public Transit + escooter
        3. Ebikes

          Those things are fine, but don’t negate the problem of pointlessly being required to travel to a pointless office.

          You’re not wrong but all those things require costly infrastructure changes whereas many jobs can be wfh right now with no upfront cost required.

          Both would be cool though

            Third option does not require new infrastructure even if you don’t have PT. Just make city-wide limit in 30 km/h, then maybe ban cars.
