None of my coworkers drive to the office and we actually like seeing each other.... Hybrid remote work is great for us

I think 90% of the problem is people being forced to drive everywhere

Traffic would be so much better with a staggered work force. We might actually enjoy the commute.

Or if they actually cared, they could build trains.

Because of traffic, the workforce started staggering by themselves here if possible. The result was that bad traffic was spread out over the entire day instead of just two peaks in the morning and evening. Good traffic is only at night and working at night defeats the purpose of having business hours.

Basically just further proof that car traffic doesn't scale well. It's just an incredibly space inefficient way to get around.

Another factor is the spaces that offices take up or the power used whilst unoccupied, these space could be used for housing or maybe even industry.

Its great that no one drives to your work but this is more uncommon than common.

In conclusion: work from home is better.
