go off on an unrelated tangent
It's all mostly the same rant, in any case.
as great as it would be to already live in some rosy future where everyone telecommutes
Telecommuting is not the only solution; it requires both infrastructure ("high-speed internet") and a cultural shift (too many jobs cannot be quantified and/or managers can't measure productivity, so performance is measured by "can see you in the office at your desk" -- whole different problem).
Neither is zoning the only solution; even a well-stocked general store doesn't eliminate every trip to town.
Not that it matters: we're more likely to get PMAR than "neighborhood commercial", and don't even bother wishing for fiber.
the government has no interest in making it work
Yet, somehow, nobody seeks to hold "them" accountable for this. Shouldn't "we the people" demand better? It's our tax money, after all.
