Comment on Government says people can 'make the call' on work from home amid fuel supply concerns

Staying cooped up at home during the workday, and evening isn’t healthy. With the money saved by not having to drive as far, people also have more disposable income and normal people can afford to walk down to their local cafe and buy a coffee before work, or take their beloved out for dinner after work.
Bookending a WFH day is also healthy for Work-Life balance.

i see you haven’t visited Australia vast shithole suburbs recently ? endless tracts of ticky tacky houses packed in and no facilities ?

an anecdote, we used to live across the road from a massive shopping center, in a 15 story building, 4 towers. You could walk on footpaths, one proper pedestrian crossing and be there. Endless cafes etc and I’d estimate 70% of people from our complex drove. Would have been hilarious if it wasn’t sickening :(

Some suburban hellscapes do include cafes and restaurants.
Often they are enclosed in homemaker centres or shopping centres, but occasionally they are in a park or community centre, with a nice relaxing ambiance.
