In Defense of the Commute

The mental drain that driving with assholes sucks, not having to do it is great. also the risk of death from those assholes is 1 in 101. Staying at home has risks, like Fire or smoke 1 in 1,450 Choking on food 1 in 2,745 Way safer to not drive if you don't have to. We have become used to motor vehicle deaths, they are just a statistic until it happens to you.

Good point. The commute experience is very different depending on where you live, and for most of the US it likely meant sitting in rush hour traffic each day. Many of us are only a few years into the practice of working from home, and I suppose I'm trying to think through how we might get the benefits of a good commute back (I would argue the commute in NYC is a good one relative to sitting in traffic), and how more co-working spaces might help us collectively mitigate what looks like mental/physical challenges ahead as WFH becomes permanent.
