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?
