If you need to shave 20 specific minutes off your daily activities, I suggest finding a new job.

Those "20 specific minutes" are roughly 1/4th of the average 2-way commute time in the Bay Area [1] and even more than that nationwide.

I suggest getting off that high horse.

But up on the horse he is faster than a pedestrian, it's better exercise than an e-scooter, and he doesn't have to worry about stepping in the ubiquitous poop.

Shaving 20 minutes off a commute in a coastal metro area costs $100,000-$200,000 in the price of a home.

Maybe you don't care about the value of your time, but many people do.
