Anyone who calls you crazy will have to call me crazy, too. I live about 1.75 miles from work. I can walk, ride or take the bus and have a set schedule and flexible work "rules." I absolutely love it and have always chose to live close to where I work.

Earlier this year some a-hole kid slammed into my parked car (he was probably texting) and totaled it. Haven't bothered to replace it as my live-in GF has a car and we both ride or walk to work. Even before the accident, I didn't drive much. My car was over 18 years old and had about 108,000 miles on it. Not bad considering that for much of its life, it was shared by me and my mom and that 1,000 of those miles were put on during one trip to Canada--for a bike tour, of course. I couldn't tell you with any accuracy what a gallon of gas costs in my neck of the woods.
