Left LA in 2018. went from a 10min bikeride (1.25hr workout) to a 3-5hr commute because "promotion"... now I don't even have a license, i run my 70 seat restaurant via cargo bike just fine (only meats, beer/wine delivery).
went from a 2-3hr drive to the beach (++ parking fees) to 5 min bike, 10 min walk to one of several beaches.
multiple mountain hiking trails within 20 min, bus/train with regular service etc.
We could not be happier in our little slice of socialist hell....
Are you in SM by any chance?
Where at? And how much did it cost ya? I've been wanting to move to a more bike friendly area but even with $150k down my mortgage would double and I'd lose two paying roommates.
I live in a tropical country... I would love to cycle to work but (i) roads are a living hell and (ii) it's hot and humid af and i look like I fell into the ocean after a 20-minute ride.
(i) is fixable with good infrastructure, (ii) isn't :(
