OK, why not, transit wonk thread.
In a huge metro area like Chicagoland, transit exists (and lots of it is great!) but for the suburbs, it really only caters to an old kind of commuting.
Even if people are willing to transfer from Metra to the L to get elsewhere downtown - that's still downtown.

And even in my case, where I'm leasing an office of my own accord, the kind of office I want would, if it were close to the train station downtown, would be ridiculously expensive.

Just listened to an All Things Considered piece on electric cars in Norway and while it was overall a pretty good piece,
NOT ONCE did it mention at-home charging.
Lots of discussion about new chargers at Circle-K, how taxi drivers are adapting, incentives, range, etc.
No mention of home charging.

In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling.
