I personally like it too, but not daily. I average 1-2 days in office now and it's healthy for me. See my coworkers, they know my name, we catch up, have our meetings, then I go home for a few days again. I've just learned everyone is different, and the company definitely shouldn't be telling people how to work, people are grownups and can decide themselves. (And if they can't, then fire them instead of punishing everyone).

However for this meme, another great way to get people off the roads would be....... trains

I like freight trains, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere that commuter trains would make sense.

Small towns built around a train station are absolutely lovely though

I suspect those are mostly outposts. Rail junctions. Water stops for the old steam trains. Remote mining towns. Places that either provided services to railway operation, or primarily needed freight service rather than passenger.

And I agree: I would love to live in a small railroad town. But I would move out long before that town had enough people to justify commuter rail service.

Ah, no in europe where I live is fairly normal for rail service to small villages even.
