“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

@BrentToderian Like most people I harbour dreams of how happy I'd be out an acreage somewhere. But unlike most people i know it's a delusion that would probably ultimately cause me to get divorced.
@jasemurphy @BrentToderian I don't dream of that. I moved from being 1 mile from downtown to being about 1.5 miles away and I'm always scheming about how I can get back to where I could walk 15 minutes and be in the center of the city. And I work from home!
