This energy thing didn't just happen last month. Like Kachi, I made it a requirement when house shopping that it be within easy bicycling distance to work. That was 22 years ago. I wonder how much gas I hypothetically saved? I think I estimated it once... I have lots of schaudenfreude for the ones that arranged their lives on the premise of cheap fuel forever. HA HA
I've also mentioned before how when flying over cities, the fact that every road is packed in every direction at commute time suggests that people have made the conscious decision to live at the opposite end of town from where they work.
