I enjoy automobiles. I love to drive, and work at it: toe heel, left foot brake, etc. I moved and started walking to work last year, and was worried I would miss driving every day. Not at all, not even a little. My commute was not quality driving time, even if I did find a few moments of excitement each day. It means a LOT more to me to have extra free time, not worry about traffic, and (surprisingly to me) feel in touch with nature. I've grown to feel that living inside your house, your car, your office, it's very isolating. Spending a few minutes outside, every day, definitely good for my mental health.

Absolutely agreed. Rush hour sucks. I work remotely, but I do end up working from coffee shops around town a lot. I enjoy getting out and being part of society. Best of both worlds.

Edit: I know that won't work for everyone, but that's why we have choices.
