And then dinner is waiting on the doorstep as a 14 pound box overnighted from the opposite coast full of lettuce and beets.

I'm eager to read your alternative solution to the problem. I'm in a city whose public transportation is a joke. It'd take me longer to get in, if it didn't breakdown, than to drive my 1 hour to 1.15 hour commute.
Plus, for $360,000 I paid for my house, an acre of land, privacy, and piece of mind for my family would get me, maybe , MAYBE, a townhouse in an area of the city that is surrounded by sketchy neighborhoods.
It's not just about "getting to listen to podcasts", it's about getting more for your money in most cases.
