This! ^^^ The powers-that-be have watched commuter times and experiences go to shit and real estate costs skyrocket (forcing people to live further and further from offices) in the last 25 years. Best case, they've done nothing, completely ignoring people's concerns. Worst case, they've actively enabled this situation in order to support the local commercial and residential real estate markets.
- ryandrake 2y agoYep, when COVID hit, my commute was 2.5 hours each way, totaling an average of 5 hours in the car every day. Once I got a taste of WFH I decided I'm never going back to that hell. I'd love to be able to afford to live close to the office, but I'm not rich enough to have a similar home in that location, and am not willing to move my family into a shoebox-sized townhome just for a short commute.
