That is an excellent point. We've created the requirement for cars by the way we've organised our societies. I live in the UK, a much smaller country but my work is a 1.5hr drive away or 2.5hr on train. I wouldn't do this job without WFH but my employer is now pressing people to come back to the office. Likewise, all my amenities are a good distance away, within cycling range but zero cycle paths. I cycle to the train station but it doesn't feel safe or pleasant around traffic and the train to work is actually more expensive than the drive.
