Where I can afford to live versus where I can afford to work, I have a commute of 1 hour and 23 minutes, or 90 miles one way. This means I have only one option for work, and work from home as often as I’m able to.

Do I like being dependent on a car? No. Is it my only option currently? Yes.

That said, I do enjoy driving, and part of that is having responsible drivers on the road. The more people that have public transportation, the better, IMO, since it means less people and less bad drivers. In my ideal world, the only people on the road would be people who just enjoy driving, but do not need it. A pipe dream for sure.
