zoning would not matter to my commute length unless I moved every time I changed jobs and had no dogs or human partners. I have made 30 years of compromises because of partners and pets. I've stayed at shitty jobs because good ones were too far away and I could not move.
building near jobs is either building company towns or embedding classism and environmental injustice into property. would you live next door to a small nuke power plant because it was colocated with your office job? how about a refinery? a bsl3 lab? sewer treatment? or would you force those workers to live near their work and put them and all the dirty parts of civilization far away from the upper class clean places?
- Roritharr 4y agoI live next to a coal power plant. It's a tradeoff between my ability to pay the rent for a single family home with a garden and living close to a large city in Germany that gives our family the chance of job and education variety. Is it a good deal? Ask me in twenty years.
