"Talent wants transit" says transit salesman. OK.

I don't want transit, I want a relatively short commute that doesn't kill my soul. Ideally not working from the office all the time, IDEALLY NOT WORKING EVERY DAY.

Ultimately this is probably the real solution: Less work, more remote.

Indeed, after getting next to transit the next step will be allowing more remote work, until companies are all remote.

Remote work is great and I agree it needs to become more culturally accepted, but almost every remote-only worker I talk to about it with has mixed feelings. The gist I get is that remote work has its ups and downs and usually their preferred ideal world would be having an office to go to but only 1-3 days a week, depending on the individual.

Talent wants transit... for other people. So the roads aren't so crowded.
