It's hard not to notice that so many of the complaints around return to work from SV area posters centre around commuting woes.

If SV cities were compact, walkable places where people could easily walk, bike and take transit to work returning to work wouldn't cause so much grief.

People are upset at the notion of a return to an hours long commute on the highway. If their commute was a 15 minute bike ride there'd be less opposition.

Apple built the wrong thing in the wrong place, and never became politically involved in trying to make life better for their employees.
