how about telecommuting instead?

Here! Here! I currently commute up the stairs to get to my office. Much more sane than spending 2 extra hours in the car every day.

Do you have kids? Try to telecommute with a child at home even a few hours a day.

I do have a 2yro. The stairs are gated off and mom knows that when I'm in there I'm working and unavailable.
