    Hello, yes. I work in construction. I carry 50+lbs (23+kg) of tools and/or material to work (which constantly changes locations as buildings and projects finished being built).

    How do I fit into the walkable city plan?

      I never claimed everyone could work from home. But I think you’ll agree, that your commute would probably become quicker and less stressful, if the majority of office workers could stay at home.
      Less traffic if you have to drive, less crowded public transport. As a side effect life in the city might also become less stressful, as the noise from traffic reduces.

        I never assumed you meant that everyone should. I was just curious as to how my side of things would function in your concept. I have often had the same questions about the 32 hour workday for us blue collars. Often in our cases, the thing we’re lacking is time instead of being able to consolidate work.
