> people will still need to use their vehicles to get places

Hmm ... walkable neighborhood has even become more livable and walkable, all my car uses could now be public transport or car sharing.. needing one now maybe at most once or twice.per month, sometimes less.

> we solve the root issue of 'too few homes' then

Yes.. but on the other hand you can mix only so many homes around offices.. which would make my neighborhood less walkable again.

Also I neither want to be location dependent for job selection, nor do I want to move due to jobs? Kind of arrogant privileged view, on the other hand, why not just leave the space for people that actually really need to live nearby their working location, like the merchant, the doctor, etcetc?

> Some of us simply want our job to provide us with a space where we can work that isn't 10 feet away from where we spend the rest of our day

If you really have that luck to be able to live that close to your office, great.. but how long will this hold? I idiot actually moved pre-pandemic closer to the job, just that they wanted a cheaper location and reorganize and moved then farer away, lol, so I had 2 month of 10 minutes to work :) Until I get that back I prefer not to was so much time travelling for barely nothing.
