Just staying here in this park and not trudging on to work would be so nice.

Yesterday I looked at what it would take to live near work and give us the total of 5 hours of life back daily that we collectively spend on commute daily. A modest place in a crappy-looking 1980s building is $2.5M, or to rent is $4500. I see all these beautiful babies in the playground, so presumably plenty of lucky privileged successful parents are actually doing it.

Actually, Chelsea Clinton lives a block north from here with her baby and husband with whom I improbably have a former employer in common, but afterwards our trajectories wildly diverged.
