    That’s not how reasonable accommodation works under ADA. If you were applying for a job that required you to be in office they could just refuse to hire.

    If you tried to force working from home at a job you already had a reasonable accommodation would be adjusting your schedule so you could utilize public transportation.

    It would be nice if people could dictate the terms but that’s not what ADA protects under “reasonable accommodation”.

      It’s what it is, and I would have no choice but to keep looking. Fortunately companies and employers are not a monolith, and some are more reasonable than others regarding things like this and may not challenge it. Particularly if you have in-demand skills.

      could utilize public transportation.

      This would certainly be a viable in some parts of the U.S. Indeed, loss of vision would very likely push me to relocate to somewhere with better accessibility for non-drivers.

      Despite my misgivings regarding their technological viability, this is one of many reasons why I am a big promoter of self-driving vehicles. But I still think working models available to consumers are a minimum decade or more off.
