    Cool story. Maybe there would be more jobs available locally, if people from neighboring places wouldn’t all commute to your place and vice versa.

      I’m trying to relocate closer. Rent is higher near my work so it is easier to save here then buy something closer to work.

      It is not people’s fault they are reliant on the infrastructure provided or constrained by their field of work/desired salary. The main hwy into the town is packed one way each rush hour. A tram, local rail, or high frequency BRT could help fix that, but theres just a slow, unreliable low frequency bus or drive. Those are the only options.

      Some people also must balance their living situations between their family memebers and their workplaces/salaries. It is easier to provide people better options to get around than it is to expect people not to travel.
