    I work 20+ miles from where I live due to what I can afford. I’m not biking that lol I’d consider taking a train if I could take the bike to the train and from the train station to work. But I’d still be biking on busy roads not safe for bikers

      Part of why you have to live so far is because parking minimums create vast amounts of space that sits empty 90% of the time.

      The other part is because of stringent zoning regulations that kill real housing options.
