It's purely about control. WFH is cheaper and more efficient.
WFH being taken from folks is just about real estate. Yet another reason why capitalism is gonna kill us all. You know how you get a bunch of cars off of the road? WFH.
Control or real estate. ¿Por qué no los dos?
There are three other options:
Those things are fine, but don't negate the problem of pointlessly being required to travel to a pointless office.
I don't negate, but this also solves how to travel to relatives.
You’re not wrong but all those things require costly infrastructure changes whereas many jobs can be wfh right now with no upfront cost required.
Both would be cool though
Third option does not require new infrastructure even if you don't have PT. Just make city-wide limit in 30 km/h, then maybe ban cars.
Capitalism is gonna save us.
