While I agree 1 and 2 are valid points, I disagree about 3. I get FAR more done at home and good management of a telecommuting workforce can overcome abuses and workers screwing off. I think that we just have to evolve our business practices to overcome poor work at home habits that could reduce productivity. Even if we could only reduce the number of people on the road by 10 percent it would dramatically everyone's quality of life. It is the way of the future, and we need to accelerate the adoption of this if we are to have any chance of addressing the spiraling costs of infrastructure. I spend less time at work simply because 2-3 hours in my car driving. That costs me money, reduces my productivity, increases pollution, and puts greater burden on state budgets for building and maintaining roads.
