The next best thing to teleportation is living across the street from work and having an instant commute. No public transit can compete with that.

If you legalize housing next to work, then you reduce the amount of stress on the transit systems we already have. It's just plain more efficient.

Well how about, at least in IT and S/W development, we encourage remote working, rather than promoting childish "agile" work practices where people come in at 9 am for a "daily standup" and mess around by writing tasks on sheets of paper like in the last century?
And if that's not a strong enough argument, just think of the climate! All those hours stuck in traffic, each one a car running for 2 to 4 hours a day, that's got to be causing a lot of pollution.
