    That would encourage people to work further away from their home, increasing commutes and lowering productivity further.

    If anything, we should do the opposite - lots of small office spaces spread out among high density housing. Enable in-person collaboration with a much shorter commute.

    Edit: Wow, didn’t expect this to be controversial. Anyone care to explain?

      Or, work from home. Why do we even need to commute to sit in a different chair and look at a different screen?

        Sure, that’s fine too. Not sure how companies paying per commute distance helps you with that, but whatever.

          Why would it need to? That’s kind of the point.

      it would lead to a dystopian always available, need to work where you spend your nonwork time etc…
