In reality, it's usually not that bad. Before I moved, my commute was largely a 6-lane divided highway (I admit, I did skirt the elevated portion). Really the worst part of it was climbing the on-ramp to rejoin it later on.

Anyhow, my real point is if you distill what he's said it comes down to, "This is where I live, I am in a bad location to do anything but drive, I know that's not good but I refuse to make any lifestyle changes, someone should fix my problems for me."

Excuse me if I don't have a lot of sympathy.

I DID NOT ask you or anyone else to fix anything for me. Your sympathy is neither required, nor desired. I got here to offer a little encouragement to folks who might have the knowledge and skills to come up with something, and get attacked like this? There is something you can do for me...go wash your face, and kiss my a$$.
