The commutes would stop being a problem for what is still a minority of workers. If you are in manufacturing, retail, construction, food service, etc. telecommuting is just not an option.
- imtringued 8y agoI think the assumption is that these people can afford to live closer to where they work because of the reduced housing demand.

That's what the parent post was talking about, and that's about a million people in the bay area alone that could skip a commute. I did say some. The whole point is, for anyone who can telecommute, they should. As a matter of not just personal freedom but social responsibility.
