In other words; terrible fucking infrastructure. As u said earlier.
It's not terrible, it's actually pretty okay. I live a couple miles from a commuter train station that takes me most of the way to work, and there's a bus connection to get to my job, so I could take transit if I wanted. But it would take a couple hours because my office is a bit out of the way and I live unreasonably far from work, and most of that is a stupid connection. If I get an e-bike, I could bike the rest of the way (about 7 miles) for a total commute time of a little over an hour, but I'm lazy.
I only do the commute 2x/week, so it's really not a priority for me, and if my SO wasn't so stubborn about sticking w/ our charter school (the public school is walking distance away), we could have a single car today.
Most of my neighbors don't need two cars, yet they have them. So we were weird when we only had one car for a couple years, and we're definitely weird when we almost never use both cars simultaneously (I like riding my bike to the local grocery store instead of driving).
