Public Transportation and Smart Growth

unless you can keep some people out of the office. But that's a cluster too, especially in big cities with expensive or long commutes. Who works from home, who doesn't? Rotations are tough because having two offices can lead to inefficiencies. I know I can't do it.

Where I worked up until 2 weeks ago, you'd only be able to fit about 25% of the employees in the space allowing for proper distancing. No cubes, just long tables with little 6 inch high dividers between each employee's "desk" space. Extreme open concept for "collaboration", they said. In reality, it appeared they'd run out of space in the building.

And then you still need to deal with all of the other areas of the office world from restrooms to the water cooler.

I can do what I do from home for the rest of career and I've decided I'll never return to an office. Getting too old for this. But I am lucky. I have fast internet, dedicated office space, no little kids at home. Many people aren't as fortunate.

It's hard to imagine where all this will lead.
