Yet I wasn't talking about my friends. I live in a large city and get to see many people I don't know every single day.

Incidentally, my friends are much more likely to not need to drive at all (tech or otherwise who WFH) than the average person around me.

Do you often ask people you don't know if they have a driver's license?

> live in a large city

Ah yes, large cities. Famous for their rural populations.

You're not arguing in good faith.

Wait, are you telling me that rural populations have less proclivity to drive?

I'm just pointing out obvious ways in which you have selection bias here.

FWIW googling, allegedly 1 in 10 people in rural america do not have a license. Or at least that is the claim floating around the internet. So yes, i think figuring out if this is a real issue should include both checking on rural and urban people, along with many other demographics. It is not obvious how this situation differs between urban/rural.
