We only have to convince people to hate one more car than they already despise.

    I live in a very very car dependent city with an almost non-existent bus system I survived for 7 years without a car until a potential employer insisted that in order to work there a car was mandatory. This happened at three separate job offers in my career before I finally caved.

      It’s incredibly common for most decently paying jobs where I live, and has been becoming more common even as the gov:t has pushed for public transit (and reliability of trains has declined). The potential costs of an employee being potentially 30+ minutes late due to transit issues are just too great.

        I understand their point of view it just sucks because no doubt it’s generated even more traffic exacerbating the problem

          If you managed to escape car centric development, you still got to escape car centric employment.

              I really hope more workplaces embrace remote work but unfortunately the nature of work I do necessitates in person work
