20 minutes walk from office, never going back to 1~2 hour commutes.

  In the Midwest a 1-2 hour commute is normally 70 - 120 miles.

    You (and the other commenter) need to be a lot more specific than "The Midwest", a large and diverse part of this country. That figure isn't close to true in Chicagoland at least, unless you're commuting suburbs to the boonies (and even then, you'd need to be lucky and have a tollway route). A 30 mile commute into the city, with traffic, takes like 50-70 minutes, a large reason why Metra commuter rail is so popular.

      Chicago isn't a car centric city, probably the only in the Midwest.

        That really depends on where you’re drawing the borders of Chicago. The Chicago metropolitan area is car centric, but looking at Chicago as a city unto it’s self and things look very different.

  5-20 minute commutes are more normal. If this sounds surprising to you, take a look at the Census Bureau's commute data. Keep in mind that this data includes commutes that cannot be walked that are in areas of low unemployment and high income relative to cost of living. https://project.wnyc.org/commute-times-us/data/commute_times_us_zipcode_2011.csv https://project.wnyc.org/commute-times-us/data/commute_times...
