    WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

    It speaks volumes that all of these problems are car-related. The whole push for WFH is a massive condemnation of how badly people actually feel about the effects of the car-oriented development that the U.S has been spending so much time championing.

      Even if I lived across the street from my office, I would still prefer to work from my home.

      a) what you say is true b) these car-related issues affect other countries just as much : I’m Canadian. c) there are other things that WFH improves as well, but they are far enough behind the car-related problems that they can seem petty by comparison. They aren’t petty at all, but they do make a convenient foil for those who argue against WFH.
