Why, if remote work is so great, would many creating the technologies that allow for remote work congregate in one place, Silicon Valley?
Manhattan, New York, where everything is just 15 minutes away. Picture KATY CHANCE, shared with my gynaecologist spouse, Siri, and two kids. The timing is a necessity, thanks to the utter US failure to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. The size was a choice.
When moving in, I floated the idea of painting parts of our ceiling with global warming stripes. Siri nixed that idea, preferring white and suggesting that our home itself doubles as a symbol. Little did we know that these same stripes would soon appear a block away on the roof of the Detox Market. Silicon Valley, of course, is not a city. It’s suburbia. Everyone who can afford it gets a single-family house, a car , and a carbon footprint to match. Cities are the most carbon-efficient places to live, suburbs the least.
“Oh, New York?” “Well, actually. I live in Great Neck Gardens. Exit 26N. Only 40 minutes, without traffic.”
