Work Poll
How far is your commute to work?
Just wondering. There is a house we may be intersted in, but my commute to work would be about an hour.
Re: Work Poll
I used to drive an hour to work but now I drive only 30 mins.
I don't think the drive is that bad, it's the having to get up earlier that I didn't like.
I went from a 10 minute commute to almost an hour commute (with traffic that is, usually would be about 30 mins...stupid rush hour!).
My DH has a 1.15 hr commute. He works in South Philly and we live in Delaware.
Even though the drive sucks, we did it for better school districts, a great neighborhood and more house for our money.
My commute right now is about 10 min. I have had lovely Los Angeles and SF commutes though that were much longer. When I lived in Pasadena, I was 15 miles from work and depending on traffic it would take me over an hour. In SF I was seven miles, but took the street car so it was usually about 45 min. Honestly, I didn't mind the commutes when I had them, you get used to it.
Mine is a whopping 8 miles-approx 20 min...
DH travels about 70 miles each way-I couldn't do it!
Right now, it's about 25-30mins driving to work... And driving home is usually about 45mins to an hour. (And that's using the carpool lane! Good ol' LA traffic)
In a few weeks, my commute will be 3 minutes... WALKING ; )
45 to an hour, each way, for 32 miles. Which isn't too bad, considering it's LA/Orange County. . . If I had to pick my commute time, I would love to have a 15-20 minute commute. It's nice to be close to work, but I don't want to be TOO close. And my commute is when I have my "me" time, and also make phone calls (using my hands-free!) to my out of state girlfriends.
If it's going to be an hourish, tops, and it's a great opportunity, don't let the commute hold you back! A great house can be hard to find.
I have an extreme commute.
Right now, my commute is 1.5 hrs door to door. It's 5-10 minutes to the train, 5-10 minute wait, 45-50 minutes on the train, 0-10 min wait for the shuttle, 10-15 min on the shuttle.
In our new town, I will have to add another 15-20 min on the train and/or 15-20 min to the drive to the train. So my commute will be 1.75-2 hrs each way.
That's working in DTLA for you. I do get 130 or so per month in transportation allowance from work, which is nice. Most people I work with have a 45 min-1 hr commute.
I can do a lot on the train. Mostly, I chill out.
The sad thing is, when it's a no-traffic day, I can get to work in 35 min, door to door.
Another Southern California commuter here.....it sucks.
It's about 30ish miles (each way) so depending on traffic, it can be anywhere from 30 minutes to upwards of 1.5 hours each way. On average, it takes me about an hour there and an hour back. I've been doing it for over 5 years now and I'm so over it, but other than the commute, I can't complain too much so I deal with it.
Dana- I am SOOOO JEALOUS of your new commute.....3 minutes??? Walking??? You could oversleep everyday and still make it on time.....LOL
I'd kill for something like that.
7 minutes-ish, but I can make it 5 if I feel dangerous.
Now its 20 minutes at least b/c it includes Hunter pick up and drop off. So about 5 minutes to daycare, 10 minutes to kiss and cuddle bye, and 5 minutes to work. I feel like its too much. I am spoiled.
