 Nicholas Bloom is a professor at Stanford University and co-author of the new super commuter study. He says the increase in long commutes comes directly from the pandemic shift to hybrid work. It's really driven by tradeoffs around work from home and mostly nobody's forcing us to do it. We've just decided, hey, look, we'd like some more space. And if we're only commuting twice a week, we're prepared to put up with this horrible commute.
