note that the company certainly should provide parking spaces for employees physically disabled such that they can't avail themselves of other options. in a lot of locations it is very much a choice whether to drive or not though, or whether to park close or far away, and it is not necessarily up to the company to deal with. very high up on the list of obvious quality of life perks for a lot of places though

if you work somewhere dense enough that parking is very expensive and you expect your job to pay for it you're a bad person and should work in the exurbs where there are nothing but parking lots as far as the eye can see

leper khan posted:lol I hope you tell the wheelchair bound guy to gently caress off with his "accommodations" Do you not have kneeling busses where you're from? Wheelchair bound people can easily use public transit, maybe even easier than driving. Not having parking provided by my employer in downtown Seattle is a pain, but driving to/from work would be similarly miserable to taking the bus. Seattle's traffic is such a nightmare they should probably consider limiting downtown access to cars like London has done

Caltech didn't have women's restrooms in its engineering buildings at one time and some tech conferences have closed women's restrooms and relabeled them as men's so be careful what you ask for

Many things about cities are very counter intuitive. For example it seems like making bigger roads, or flyovers, or elevated highways will solve traffic jams. And clearly that has never been the case. Because what creates traffic is not the number of cars, but the number of trips and the length of trips. They'll need more road infrastructure and the traffic will become even worse. The only way to solve traffic jams is to restrict car use, and the most obvious way of restricting car use is restricting parking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPf4s2oFnp0

real talk, I'd find it very hard to live in the bay and commute like an hour each way to a campus when I can live in Seattle and walk 20 minutes to work. at least they have the private busses, I guess.
