“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath
Just one of 50 reasons why everyone should want more walkable streets. In Fast Company Magazine.

It is the work that brings the most satisfaction. I have 2 homes, one is 30 miles from my job which I am fixing up to sell.
My new home is 80 miles one way from work, that is the home that I am moving TO.
The 30 mile commute is 30 to 120 minutes averaging 90 minutes each way. Train 2.5 hours each way.
The 80 miles commute each way is 90 to 120 minutes.
Train 3 hours each way.
But the home is a beautiful ranch vs a city home in a congested neighborhood.
