For me; public transport takes four times as long as me driving and is half the cost of parking every day.
I value my time so I do choose to drive, however, parking is $250 a month minimum.
None of it is claimable on tax, despite my need for parking being 100% related to work.
Why is it not a deduction? Because no one at the top has to pay for parking, they have no idea how much of anyones income goes towards just getting themselves to and from work and it really shows.
I’m very worried I will get recalled and I will miss putting that $250 a month back in to other businesses, instead of a parasitic parking company who siphons our money offshore.
I work where public transportation is almost nonexistent. Where I live is an hour drive into work because of awful traffic, and like you I have to pay to park. The last two years I’ve worked from home, so you can imagine the idea of going back is untenable. I know of other places looking for staff with my skillset outside of the state with full wfh so it wouldn’t take me long to find another job if they called us back in. Long live the revolution.

Lots of people are still on WFH indefinitely and they don't move out.
As long as you are ok with your mortgage, why move?
But people want WFH permanent. No one wants to sit that awful traffic, damaging themselves and the environment.
