Working from home is the solution to all infrastructure problems and I'm sick of pretending it isn't.

Fuck your cars, buses, trains, the lot. Housing too expensive where you work? Live in a small cheap town. Roads too busy? Don't use them.

Are we all supposed to pretend the covid years didn't exist now?

Even if we assume everyone can work from home, people still need to go places for other reasons.

Yeah, but not all at the same time.

Where the roads are busiest is 8-9am and 5-6pm. That ain't shoppers or people going to the park.

So we can build things to a somewhat lower capacity sure. That helps, but what exactly does it solve?
