For a guy who cares so deeply about traffic, you'd think he'd be all over the benefits of not having as many commuters every day

Do you work in the GTA? Because commuting is like the main reason people quit jobs here.

It’s important to thrive sitting in your car staring at the car in front of you all the time, accomplishing nothing, instead of sitting in your basement starting at your screen, or what people might call “working.”
I also like how it’s always the basement. My entire office has WFH days and I have not once seen anyone’s office setup located in a basement.

Gonna have to be the guy who admits to the stereotype...mine is in the basement. My wife got the office upstairs. OK with me, nice and cool in the summer.

Mine totally is, and it kinda sucks. But I’m also not driving 1.5 hrs each way…

Yup, mine is in my basement too. There's just a perfect nook there for it, but it would be nice to have windows.
Thankfully the new place doesn't have a basement so that one will be in the den.

None whatsoever. The delays just trying to drive through North Van on the highway in the middle of the afternoon are soul destroying. Couple of months ago I left Delta BC - not even a high traffic part of the lower mainland, relatively speaking - before 6am to try to get ahead of traffic going to downtown. I was in bumper to bumper within 5 minutes. Apparently you have to leave by 5.
It's like if you took the worst of the Deerfoot traffic and applied it to every major road from Airdrie to Okotoks for about 8 hours a day.

So Government employees have to actually go to work. Like they always used to.
Do we need to start a letter-writing Campaign to Amnesty International to free of these poor and unfairly imprisoned souls?
Commuting sucks. So does life. It is an endless sequence of one miserable state of suffering to the next. Deal with it.

But honestly, some days I think getting eaten by a pig might not be so bad.
