Jim,

When I was working in California as an individual contributor, I used to work from home 70% of the time. I just went into the office for meetings. Later I took a job in management, and had to commute every day.

My current day job requires that I be in the office every day, just because of the company culture. I could be just as productive at home, but the management is too entrenched in their fears to adjust.

I spent a week working in England last summer when petrol was completely unavailable. It was amazing how quickly management there adjusted to the idea of telecommuting.

Jim they spend 2 billion (mostly Federal money) in Portland on Light Rail and it hasn't help traffic hardly at all.

Most people they rode the bus, just changed to light rail, the majority still drive as your commute time triples in allot of cases if you use light rail.

2 billion down a hole. Should have used it to improve freeways so people don sit in traffic idling for a hour.
