This thread certainly is getting more and more political lately.....

I find it interesting that there seems to be a desire to assign some nefarious indoctrination or accessory to some wrong doing. Personal automobiles became popular in the areas where they are popular because they were the best solution for the individuals for their situation. There are many people in New York City who don't drive because personal automobiles are not the best solution for their personal needs. But there are other drawbacks to concentrating so many people in such a small area.

But here's the thing, things are changing, in spite of all of the political rhetoric. I'm a pretty good example. I have been telecommuting for 16 years now. Sure I drive to customers every now and again. And I certainly fly to customers too. But a good 85% of the time I am using my cellphone and my laptop as my office. In fact, everybody in my company has this same model. I know many other people who also work from home.

Technology has made home offices a practical solution for many companies and many people. We don't need some orchestrated social media movement to affect change, all we need is a better solution. And we have better solutions out there. No need to blame automobile companies. No need to blame oil companies. Let the change happen the natural way.

How many miles do you commute a day?
