I live in Seattle. To get to work in Bellevue, I have 1.15hr commute by bus + walking. When I lived in SF, I had a 1.5-2hr Caltrain/bike commute to Palo Alto.

I live in Seattle. To get to work in Bellevue, I have 1.15hr commute by bus + walking.
When I lived in SF, I had a 1.5-2hr Caltrain/bike commute to Palo Alto. Missing a train would cost me 45 min. A car getting stuck in the tracks or a suicide would cost 1-2 hours.
A car currently saves me 2hrs, enabling me to have more time to cook healthy food myself and visit the gym with cadence. Imho, a car pays me in dividends.
I could live closer to work, but it’s difficult to socialize in those areas.
- majewsky 5y agoI'm guessing GP was thinking of non-US residents when making their claim (although I'm very skeptical of the implication that non-US-based citydwellers make up the majority of HN).
- sofixa 5y agoNon-US based city dwellers+ US city dwellers from the few cities that get public transit right-ish, is, in my opinion, the majority here.
