Sure, sure … but it’s important to remember that not all jobs are office jobs.

For your delivery drivers, retail shelf-stockers, sanitation workers, farmers, nurses, construction workers, etc, etc, etc … remote work doesn’t really work for them. Remote work is fine for IT jobs, clerical jobs, and administrative jobs, but a lot of jobs can’t be done that way, which means a lot of people still need to commute.

For sure, but if I don’t have to, that frees up the road for the people who actually need it.

i drive delivery whenever i need to, and i’d appreciate less useless traffic on the streets.

i’m sure other people would appreciate it too!

  True, true. Less commuting would be a benefit for just about everybody (except wealthy commercial real estate landlords).
  
  Just wanted to point out that saying everyone should stop commuting is pretty hyperbolic.

In a nearby harbor they were crying out for dock workers. You have to be at location, but there was no transit option. The nearby city was too expensive for housing for the salary they got so the commute by car from somewhere affordable was long and not worth the pay. Commuting isn’t free.
