Two years ago I drove 100miles a day to and from work, put on two stone and nearly broke my marriage

For the past year I work twenty minutes walk from home, see my children for breakfast each day and actually recognise people in the local neighbourhood

It's soooo much better without commuting - by car or not.

The simplest rule of thumb is everything you need for life should be 20 minutes walk away. Schools, shops, doctors, work, parks. It is true of great cities (most of London is like that).
