[Waiting For Everyman]

My father, who is in his 90's now and was a highly-educated school teacher, was on to this in the 1950's, and wrote a book about it for which the Board of Education rescinded a promotion it had given him to principal and any promotions afterwards. He put in 40 years anyway. Just sayin', that's what the education hierarchy thought about his interest in population.

IMO, traveling to jobs and schools is the big problem. We should tremendously increase the number of people who are allowed to do this from home, when possible. Also, how about a credit for hiring workers within a tight radius, and a penalty for hiring outside it? A lot of people work in major cities and live somewhere else altogether - an hour's commute or more away. Instead, we should encourage some companies to locate outside of the cities where those commuting workers are from. This would also relieve the need to build ever-bigger beltways.

It seems to me some of this could be done with policies.

Thanks for the video links.
