He wrote “…just live close to work, or work close to home. It’s what my wife and I do and we each earn six figures so it’s not like we’ve sacrificed economic opportunity to accomplish it.” It may be too late for people who are already settled in – but you young people have time to do it right. You need to understand that this highway system is NEVER going to be finished. The maintenance and rebuilding schedule stretches from here to the moon. So, don’t sign those mortgage papers until you rehearse your future commute, during rush hour in a rain squall. Then check the DOT web page to see if any long-range projects are scheduled for your route.
The Pessimist’s ground rules for house shopping are: NO neighborhoods with any bridges, tunnels, prospective tunnels, or ferries between the house and the workplace. And the same rule for any job switch. He says that by following those rules, his commute is 15 minutes each way – by bicycle.
