I live/work in Silicon Valley. Have a 25-30 minute commute, driving alone at skewed-from-peak-traffic times (10a,7p). It's not unusual to see wildlife on the way: deer, wild turkey, jackrabbit, rarely coyote. I listen to podcasts most days. Unless there's a wreck or other cause of stopped traffic ahead, I don't particularly mind the drive, and parking is not a problem (no snow or freezing weather either). Switching to mass transit (bus stop is 1 mile from my residence) would at least triple my travel time. No thanks. If my work habits evolve, it will most likely be toward more working from home.
