No we don't. Life isn't that simple. What if you have dependent
relatives at one location and the only work is at another, as one
small example?


Take the dependant relatives with you when you move close to work.

Take them away from their circle of friends?


Seems to me you want your cake and eat it. For free. The only type of
travel that is (near enough) free is walking or cycling. All others have a
considerable cost. The argument is if that should be paid for entirely by
the traveller or subsidised by the community. And of course the ratio
between them. I'd say it is impossible to provide mass transport systems
into the likes of London which provide a comfortable space for everyone at
all times and is 100% reliable. But if anyone knows how I'm sure we'd all
like to hear it.
