I currently drive, but I live close enough where I could bike or even electric skateboard. I also live in the midwest, so weather in the Winter can prevent me from doing either.

When I worked in the city, I would drive to the light rail, take the light rail into the city, and then walk several blocks to our office. After a two years of doing this, I felt like I was wasting a lot of time in transit each day, which is why I changed jobs so I could be much closer to home.

The funny part is that five years ago, there were several articles talking about how all the millennials were moving into the city and forgoing the suburban lifestyle to be closer to the "action" of the downtown area. Fast forward to 2018. I've already seen several articles this year about how those same millennials are now moving out of the city and into the suburbs to forgo all the crime of the big city.
