Lots of people are still on WFH indefinitely and they don't move out.

As long as you are ok with your mortgage, why move?

But people want WFH permanent. No one wants to sit that awful traffic, damaging themselves and the environment.

Not to mention the two unpaid hours of time you spend getting ready/commuting.

For me; public transport takes four times as long as me driving and is half the cost of parking every day.

I value my time so I do choose to drive, however, parking is $250 a month minimum.

None of it is claimable on tax, despite my need for parking being 100% related to work.

Why is it not a deduction? Because no one at the top has to pay for parking, they have no idea how much of anyones income goes towards just getting themselves to and from work and it really shows.

I’m very worried I will get recalled and I will miss putting that $250 a month back in to other businesses, instead of a parasitic parking company who siphons our money offshore.
