        In a word: Zoning

        In two indirect but perhaps more comprehensive words: racism and capitalism

        White supremacy, labor exploitation, rapid expansion, and extreme wealth inequality have been hallmarks of America’s development.

        That manifests physically in the shape of our cities.

        In 2020, many people suddenly got to work from home, and while many have been unnecessarily forced to resume commuting, I’m curious what the numbers look like if you ignore workers who work from home? If I’m not required to be onsite for my job, why would I choose to live near my workplace? I read the linked article, and it kinda alludes to it, but doesn’t explicitly answer my question.

      Here in the UK its 2-6 miles. 🤷‍♂️ Also beware of outliers that throw data away from the median.
