Location. Location. Location

If you're like most Americans working in an office environment, there's a good chance you either drive or take some sort of transportation between work and home. Statistically, very few of us are able to walk to work, or work from home. And if you're like most Americans, statistically, there's a good chance it takes you longer to get from home to work, and back again, than you'd prefer.

But what if you could easily, and affordably commute 10 times your normal commute distance in the same time span? How might it change your life? Would you move? Would you seek employment farther away? Would you seek other life-enhancing pursuits farther away, such as education, social life, or visiting family and friends?

As an example, let's say you live in Northern Virginia, outside of Washington D.C. and it takes you 1-1/2 to 2 hours to commute on average each way. What if you could get to New York City, or Norfolk, or Charlotte in that same 1-1/2 to 2 hours and it didn't cost more than your current commute?

How much does transportation, or more importantly: the lack thereof, control your life?
