Would it really be that bad?
Now I work very close to home, but when I didn't, I'd meet people commuting the other way. If it was no longer profitable to commute, we could either move to be closer to our job or switch jobs to be closer to home.
- nine_zeros 4y ago> Would it really be that bad? Are you asking about America? This summer, my wife's friend ($70k/yr) was considering a tradeoff between eating healthy vs supporting her mom's rent. Going closer to work is not a choice for many as rents closer to work are prohibitively high. Further, a lot of driving is errands and healthcare. I can't even get something to eat without driving 5 mins.
- v-erne 4y agoWow that's really bad - I have like four big supermarkets in 5 min walking distance from my flat and at least 4 convinience stores and even two real old school street markets. And I live on the far outsikrts of my town. And this is the norm here. How Americans could screw themselves so much and let this happen ?
- causi 4y agoWould it really be that bad? Sure, for the fools who saw a couple years of two-dollar gas and decided they needed an F-350 to drive to their office job. It's hard to work up any sympathy for them, especially when most of them lived through the gas prices of the Bush years.
