Let's Convert Empty Office Space into Apartments. In San Francisco, Some People Commute Long Distances from Affordable Housing to Their Jobs in the City. Stop That! Waste of Gasoline!

San Francisco office vacancy rate hits a new record high...


Tech Companies are Laying Off and It's Unlikely they will be Hiring Soon... and Many People Prefer to Work from Home! If They Could Take an Elevator to The Office... Attending Meetings Would be EASY!

A Big Reason Cities Want Workers To Return To The Office... 
Landlords are Hurting!
The ongoing debate over working remotely or going into the office overlooks one major factor that could be disastrous for large cities, such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The commercial real estate market may be in serious trouble. According to a recent report by Morgan Stanley analysts, the commercial real estate market is expected to experience something "worse than in the Great Financial Crisis."

Do Something About Climate Change. Drive Cars Less. Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes.

People Driving to Work in Cars is the Main Cause of Climate Change. The Next Time You Change Jobs, SERIOUSLY Consider Commuting a Shorter Distance as the Main Factor of Which Job You Take. Remember: Commuting an Hour a Day is an Hour of YOUR LIFE That is Wasted... and Lost Forever... an Hour You COULD HAVE Used to Play with Your Children, take a NAP or Watch TV... Learn to play a Musical Instrument... Write that Novel... ANYTHING is Better than Sitting in Traffic! AND... You are NOT Getting Paid for that Wasted Time!
do something about climate change

What IF... We Moved "The Office" from Downtown to Vacant Stores nin The Mall? In General, Shopping Malls are Near where People Live... and Downtown is a Nightmare Commute...

Flying in Jet Airplanes is an Insane Way to Spend your Vacation Time... We had a ZOOM Christmas Party... and Got to Socialize with the Family Without the Madness of Airports... We Had a ZOOM Wedding too! The Church has a Youtube Channel for Broadcasting the Sermons and They Let Weddings Use That... 

Trump FAILED to Crown Himself King - MAGALOSER!

Zoning Laws seem very strange, quaint and Obsolete. It days gone by it made sense to have Smokestack Factories in a different location from Homes. Now it just means we all have a long commute to get to work... at office jobs...

Maybe we should recycle all the abandoned shopping malls and turn them into light industrial office complexes. Those long commutes in cars release a lot of exhaust that causes Global Warming.

Skolstrejk för klimatetat #ClimateStrike - Protest Online Using "digital strikes" Instead of Mass Rallies in the Streets - Take Worldwide ECO-ACTION! - Greta Thunberg says: “We Are Striking to Disrupt the System”


Greta Thunberg calls for digital strikes amid coronavirus fears. She has urged fellow climate campaigners to avoid mass protests and listen to local authorities.

"Make America Greta Again" - Climate Change is Real and Caused By Human Behavior... Here are Some Simple Things We Can Do To Help Prevent Disaster.


Drive Cars Less. WAY Less... The Next Time You Change Jobs, Select a Location NEAR HOME to Reduce Time and Money Wasted Commuting to Work... I was Lucky Enough to Be Able to Ride the Bus to Work in Both Eureka and San Jose, California... It was a LOT of Fun Chatting with the Other Bus Riders... Especially the Beautiful Women... You Can't Do THAT is a Car... 

Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes. Is There REALLY a Need to FLY? Where are You Going that Couldn't Be Done Using a Picture Phone???  Do Your  Business Meetings Online... and Try Your Next Vacation Near Home... Maybe Camping in the Sierras??? Or Hiking the Appalachian Trail???

Eat Fewer Hamburgers... A LOT of Global Warming is Caused by Cows... Maybe Those Meat Alternative are worth Checking Out? OR... Maybe Just Enjoy those Ancient Meals Like a Falafel? Middle Eastern Pocket Bread, Ground Garbanzo Bean Mash Deep Fat Fried, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes and INSANELY HOT SAUCE! 

Stop buying New Clothes... Every Time You Buy New, a Corporation Collects Raw Materials, Employs Slaves in Asia to Make the Garment and Ships them By Boat Half Way Around the World and then Drives Them in Trucks to You... Why Not Just Go to Your Local Thrift Store and Buy Recycled Clothes? Our Thrift Store is a Benefit for the Eureka Homeless Shelter. Employing Homeless People and Paying for the Rescue Mission's Food and Rent Bills from their Profits. We Bought a Couch, two chairs, a Piano and Countless Books there... It Wonderful! and they Deliver!

The Tacoma, Washington Light Rail is FREE. The Taxpayers have Determined that the More People that Ride the Train the Fewer Traffic Jams for People that Drive

We OUGHT to make ALL PUBLIC Transportation Free... Just to get Fewer People in Cars... Less Global Warming Pollution... 

A Couple of Times I have Lived in a Place where Riding the Bus to Work was Practical. It is Dramatically better to Ride the Bus than Drive... and yet, when I Bought my Van, I stopped Riding the Bus and I Drove... I Guess that I Really Didn't Like Being OUTDOORS in the Rain. and I really didn't Like arriving at the Bus Stop a MINUTE LATE and watching The Bus Drive Away... and Waiting an Hour. I DID Like the Women I Met on the Bus... and I DID Like the Sleeping I did in the Morning on the way to work... and I Did Like the Weed I found on the Bus in a Purse some Lady Forgot... 

The Main Cause Of Global Warming is BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. and the Main Way a Person Can Stop Burning Fossil Fuels is to NOT Drive a Car. 

Remember, time spent commuting is a total waste of your life. The Next Time You Select a New Job, Make Sure That A SHORT COMMUTE is a Major Factor is Your Selection. A Job Has to PAY A LOT MORE MONEY to Justify a Long Commute.  

One Cause of Global Warming is Automobile Exhaust. I don't own a car. I ride the bus... It's fun! Fix Global Warming...

I sleep on the way to work... You can't do that if you drive...
I drink booze on the way home... You can't do that if you drive...

However, I know people that travel great distances to get to work and cannot ride the bus or use BART. Friends of mine LIVE in Sacramento and WORK in San Francisco and commute back and forth every day. That's INSANE but you do what you have to do to survive.

A really great solution would be to move the workplace closer to Home. Housing costs in the Bay Area are very high and MANY people choose to live in the central valley where housing costs are reasonable. Why NOT move high tech offices? What is the advantage to having an office in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara or Mountain View? With a shorter commute people would be happier and more productive... An hour+ commute each way really makes for a long workday... We should move offices to Stockton, Modesto, Turlock and Gilroy... That's where the people live!

Zoning Laws made sense in the past when we wanted to keep industrial buildings far away from Homes. Industrial buildings often caused smoke and pollution... like steel mills and oil refineries...

Office Space could fill the empty stores at shopping malls... Since Amazon has caused retail stores to close why not use those vacant buildings for Cubical Farms?


Fix Global Warming
