McKinsey said cities could adapt to the declining demand for office space by “taking a hybrid approach themselves,” developing multi-use office and retail space and constructing buildings that can be easily adapted to serve different purposes.

You should look at the history of public transit in Detroit, and trains more broadly in the US. Its the same thing.
I feel @glitches_brew is sooo close to getting orange pilled. While it’s not teleportation, we have the technology for high speed rail. Even my weekly commute of ~110km on conventional rail is about the same time as driving and I can get work done/watch videos/sleep instead of focusing on driving!
Most of the people I see commuting by car, at least in America, are also not focused on driving.
I ride a motorcycle and I can confirm.
I saw someone eating a bowl of cereal in the driver seat a few days ago. It’s terrifying out there.
I’ll take that over the guy watching porn in stop and go traffic on a busy, high speed, narrow road outside Boston…
Look into the history of Robert Moses and why the bridges are so low in Long Island
Hint: it has to do with busses and racism
The Great American Streetcar Scandal comes to mind.
I used to live in a tiny rural town of about 3,000 people, and even it used to have a trolley line. They tore it up when they built the highway, and now the only public transit available is one bus twice a day, and only for people who are disabled.
One of the old trolleys is still sitting next to the fire station, mocking everyone who drives by.
