TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail. (en.wikipedia.org)

If this isn't an argument for 15-minute cities I don't know what is

For me it’s because i like to live outside of the city and I work at a large city library. I’ve asked about and some are actually using 20 minutes biking and one has a 10 minute walk. The rest of us are 40 min+ unless you only count the time on tram/bus/train.

I have a 20 minute drive to the train and 50 minutes on the train where I can have a nap or work. I do have option of WFH and use that maybe 20% pf the time. Mostly to focus better with less distractions.

I could get work closer to home, but you can’t move my workplace.
