>Perhaps you need a (e-)bike. Instead of taking 15min, you'd take 30min at city speeds.

My old commute, prior to switching to full time WFH, was ~25 miles and took 25-30 minutes by car depending on traffic/stoplights. It would take me an hour to an hour and a half on a typical ebike, and it would be far too cold to make the trek 3 months out if the year.

I guess you chose your work/housing combo to be only friendly to a car. The alternative in this case is to choose a place where they are not so far apart - hardly impossible.

The tech industry is scattered all around the Bay Area. I’ve had four jobs in the last sixteen years, and each of them has been at least twenty miles away from the next (San Francisco, Mountain View, Walnut Creek, Sunnyvale).

Place built to require X is unuseable without X unless the dependency is broken - news at 11.

At only vastly increased housing prices, sure.
