not to be reformist but i just realized requiring employers to treat a commute as time on the job would probably make american cities profoundly more habitable

I am having trouble understanding. Can you, or someone else who knows more about this please provide further explanation?

if employers were paying for commute time (as is standard in several countries), spending less time commuting would be incentivized. cities would be more compact and take less time to traverse than across urban sprawl. i also interpreted it to mean that cities would also have more diverse transportation infrastructure, instead of the heavily-trafficked slog of the freeway. efficient public transport, walkability, etc.

It’s cute you think they would invest in infrastructure instead of just refusing to hire people who lived further away than the more expensive downtown housing.
