That's a somewhat short commute by modern American standards too.
Honestly, we'd all be better off if we stopped driving to work and made our cities denser and used trains to get around, had more/better train service between nearby cities, and then took annual holidays in Europe on Airbus A380 aircraft that were configured with only economy seating (700+ passengers per plane).
- pessimizer 7y agoThe difference in difficulty of redesigning all cities, remaking public transportation, and locating all workers near their workplaces or figuring out a way they can telecommute, as opposed to skipping the annual holiday to Europe, is vast.
- magduf 7y agoWell it's never going to happen if you just throw up your hands and say "it's impossible". How about starting right now, by raising gas taxes and changing zoning regulations and encouraging denser development?
