Yep, that's me.
Or if you change jobs, it's not too easy to change homes here in LA. Got $800,000 for a new crackerbox? If not, you live in Riverside and work in LA.
Many companies (mine included) went to a four day work week. So there's one day of commuting saved.
Also, I drive half way to work and bike in the rest of the way. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
