They missed the easiest, cheapest and most effective solution: working from home. We wouldn't need half of what we've built already if we put an end to the commute for office workers. We might even make our Paris Accord targets that way too.
I'm pleased to have switched to a union job that protects my safety and respects my time, by allowing 100% remote work as available -- that's to allow for people to work from the office, but to promote a remote-first approach. The specific wording in the contract is as convoluted as anticipated, but the summary is they have a minimal number of 'hotel' (hot-desk) spots in an actual office, but the spaces they sold back during covid they do not intend to request again.
(For the poor managers more validated by seeing my ass in a chair every day, I say "get help, my ass isn't appealing" and I also mention my day job deals with some pretty private shit, and an actual home office is a straight-forward to certify for ergo and data privacy; but the manager has to want it. And that's how I can spot the fucking pervs)
