  Happy too just as soon as work locate themselves somewhere that’s actually accessible via public transport. And not in some out of town business park with only road access and no cycling facilities.

  Also they need to change the weather so it never rains or snows and is always warm but not too warm.

  If they start doing those things then we can talk.

    I love when people say stuff like this. It’s the “I’m not even going to try” comment. If children in Finland can bike to school in the winter, I think your adult self can deal with a little bit of not-ideal weather sometimes. You just have to dress for it, and not expect to always be isolated from the environment like some people want to be for some reason.

      yeah most weather you can easily deal with by dressing appropriately and accepting that you’re not going to be 100% comfortable all the time, especially when the distances aren’t too long. That said, I did have to endure some horrid weather as a kid on my bike to school that I’m not sure I’d want to put someone else through

    Might be easier to enact WFH and vote for more public transportation funding. Waiting for a company to choose to do anything on their own is a little naive, though.

    Also they need to change the weather so it never rains or snows and is always warm but not too warm.

    Well as long as our expectations are realistic.

    Most reasonable pro-SUV advocate award.

      Reading comprehension skills are lacking I see

      The commentary was replying to was saying that electric vehicles are not viable and instead we should move away from private vehicle ownership. I was responding by pointing out why we still need private vehicle ownership.

      I didn’t make a comment about the method of proportion those private vehicles use.

        The comment you replied to didn’t say anything of the sort, though I understand you interpreted it in that way.
