Some of us don't want to make our entire life centered around an urban area. I have friends from South Philly who've never been outside of Philadelphia. For all the people here with their vitriol towards cars, that sort of provincial attitude is just as disgusting to me. New Yorkers are the worst about it. They can't imagine there is anything worthwhile that is not in their city.

I've been freelancing from home for 2 years now and the thing I miss the most is driving. I loved driving. Getting out, doing things, seeing different things, rather than going to the same, old places all the time just because they were in walking distance. Getting to places 10 miles away on time without having to leave an hour before hand. It was great.
