Everybody I know thinks it should happen.


I am starting to believe that widening I-10 and building a loop are 1970s ideas. I definitely believe something should be done but I think a more modern technological idea should also be brought to the table.

My ideas would be to give incentives:

To businesses who start using different hours. Like 7am to 4pm or 6am to 3pm (just throwing things out there)

Also, give incentives to businesses who work four 10 hour days and either take Monday or Friday off. Or any day they want.

Another idea is to give incentives to businesses that allow employees to work from home. I know in my office in Baton Rouge many of our employees could definitely work from home. Maybe come to the office once per week and then they could use a cube or share and office or conference room.

How does this do anything other than make tax payers on the hook for a incentives that do nothing to solve the problem?

Uh no

And I'd bet money some of this is already happening; yet we still have the problems we see every day of the week.
