No commuters? What city are you referring to? In SF, Muni is packed along my commute to the city. Probably there’s not as much commuting, but there’s certainly quite a bit.

Also, more dense housing actually usually means less commuting. That’s one of the reasons I generally support it. People living closer to work means less commute time resulting in less carbon as well.

My observation in Boston is that driving in by car at rush hour is as bad as it has ever been. Commuter rail ridership seems to be significantly down relative to pre-pandemic so some of the traffic probably comes from that, but it's still very heavy so a lot of people are obviously still commuting in.

I think we could easily go back to the days (not so long ago) when SF was a bedroom community for SV and working in SF was the reverse commute. SF could become a fun place to live and play again.
