when I used to have to drive to work, it was a situation where they wanted us employees to pay to use the lot (get fucked!). so I parked about a mile away in a quiet neighborhood. boom 2 miles a day (added a casual 15-20 minutes each way to my commute, but was a chill time I looked forward to and savored far more than the 20 minutes in bed that vanishes in the blink of an eye.
now I work remote, but live in a place where a solid, affordable takeout lunch place is walkable, as is a grocery store. so if I grab lunch or pick something up from the store, I'm there. that was considerably more difficult to arrange, but the remote work let me get real wild in my searches for smaller communities. pre WW2 "downtown" in a small rural community tends to still be walkable. not always, but a lot follow that 1st floor retail, second floor residential/professional. the trick is really finding a small town that isn't totally fucked, which is a needle in a haystack situation, imo.
this country has been hollowed the fuck out, like "empty Spain", but on a continental level and still unfolding.
