I'm not cycling the 40 miles between affordable housing and my office in 105° for 5 months or of the year.

Not everybody can live in New York where the system can support robust public transit.

I live near Austin, and the cheapest place to rent in the small city I work is over $4,000 a month. The place I live is 1/5th of that, but it's a 90-minute commute by car.

I'd kill for better housing or transit options, but it's a very complex problem to solve in established areas that largely developed post-automobile. I work in municipal planning, so I appreciate both the advantages and the challenges more than most.
