The Absurdity of the Return-to-Office Movement::The return-to-office demands make little sense from an overall economic perspective, while working parents, in particular, benefit from not having to waste time commuting to an office, writes Peter Bergen.

It's so nice to have everything within a 5 block radius. Everything I need is there. No cars, no traffic, just lots of constant exercise and fresh air. When I want to go to a museum, I go to a museum--no gas, driving, parking. When I want to go to a concert, I jump on the subway and go to a concert. But go on, tell us how living in suburbs and breathing the fumes from the car in front of you is better.

Nobody drives in the city, there's too much traffic.

The one thing i disagree about is the fresh air

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This isn’t 1980. Cities are really not polluted. Those who live in the suburbs tend to be less healthy due to lack of activity and increased exposure to the pollution emitted from cars.

If you are in the US or EU, maybe? Look at the third words though. This fresh air claim does not apply to everywhere in the world: especially when talking about downtown.

We’re going to take the exception and apply it to the whole, gotcha.

Looks like you love opening your mouth without thinking much so here are a few Actual stats before i block your ass.

I was not even disagreeing with you as a whole but apparently even arguing one point with you makes you entitled to a point you become defensive stale and resort to indulge in the mindset a 5 year old would be ashamed of.

Now tell people again exactly how the air is actually fresh in cities, downtown, nonetheless where traffic is peaking. Adios.

Who said anything about living in the suburbs?

We didn't all build our towns wrong.
