The average American commutes 20.5 miles each way to work 🙃

Why do y'all work so far away?

The distance the average American lives from their workplace has soared from 10 miles in 2019 to 27 miles at the end of 2023, per new data from Gusto.

In a word: Zoning

In two indirect but perhaps more comprehensive words: racism and capitalism

White supremacy, labor exploitation, rapid expansion, and extreme wealth inequality have been hallmarks of America’s development.

That manifests physically in the shape of our cities.
