I absolutely agree, but I have a sneaking but unfounded suspicion that many decision makers don't want to prove out this theory.

WFH during the pandemic already triggered a panic from those whose income depends on the status quo of urban commute. To them, demonstrating we don't need offices OR personal automobiles is a dangerous experiment to conduct in one of the largest metro areas in the world.

My god, what if it works? What would we do with all this pavement and gasoline?!
