- CalRobert 2y agoI used to live in the middle of Dublin and ride a bike to work. Then I got a remote job and realized I could save a fortune by moving to a rural house an hour away. But when I _did_ need to go to Dublin, I was sometimes driving instead of riding a bike (though sometimes I took the train, but I was very careful to make this an option and my neighbours would usually drive to go to Dublin)
- woodruffw 2y agoThere’s a personal anecdote as a direct comment beneath my comment, as an example of this. To be clear: I’m not faulting people for this. But it’s an intuitive consequence of people moving their working space into their living space: having both means needing more room, which frequently means moving somewhere rural or suburban and driving more.
