I mean you literally picked the longest commute average in the country. My current commute is 8 minutes, hard to even get a podcast fired up.

- jeromegv 5y agoAnd you literally picked the shortest one which isn't much better, the average commute is 53min per day in the US.
- hparadiz 5y agoMy commute on the east coast when I lived there was 15 minutes and I still hated it cause I had to actually get showered, dressed, and look presentable and then actually get on my bike and weave through some aggressive traffic to get there. It was only two miles but I'd still rather not do it at all. And in the winter... It's just torture on the body.
- oftenwrong 5y agoGood point: The measurements of commuting time should include all preparation. Dressing, preparing lunch, ironing, etc.
- heavyset_go 5y agoThe median commute time results in spending almost 10 days commuting a year.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoConsidering the kind of people I'd have to live amongst if I lived near the jobs 20 days is a small price to pay for freedom and sanity.
- inetknght 5y agoWhy pay that when you can work remote instead?
- jagger27 5y agoWhat “kind of people”?
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThank you for asking. It seems like everyone is assuming I meant I don't want to live among people of a certain complexion, nationality, economic status or perhaps some other criteria like that. The people I don't want to live among are the kind that have a lot of money and not a lot of problems. I get along better with street pharmacists than I do with doctors and lawyers.
- jagger27 5y agoThanks for clarifying. I'm right there with you.
- midasuni 5y agoGiven the discussion is about working from wherever you want, that’s your choice. You can live in the centre of a city, or in a cabin in the woods. You have the power. You have the freedom.
