This is great. But for all the people who can do this (and the many who can but don’t), there are plenty more who can’t because of where they live.
Something tells me that neither of these authors live within lower-income brackets and thusly they have chosen to live in the expensively-priced walkshed of rapid rail. As long as you can afford a million-dollar rowhouse, condo fees, or Metro-accessible rent, you can save money commuting so that you can put a Porche in your garage. AWESOME. EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THAT.
Early adopters have to be rich, and this guy’s wisdom applies to everyone who lives within walking distance of a Metro station. But had he been relegated to a bus corridor, he wouldn’t be in the position to sing transit’s praise.
