Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Real Estates' newest pitch: Easy Commute POST A COMMENT With real estate slumping away, the newest buzz word here in N.J. (and nearby cities) is easy commute, with programs offering -- 'people who work in a particular town to also live there. 'Geared mostly towards single people and young families looking to plant roots in a place as workers and residents -- (the city programs offers kick-backs if you work & live in the same city). I'm not big on live, play and work smash ups. I do understand that need to get up in the mornings and "go to work." And some distance plays a role here. I myself, live in N.J. and take the train into New York for work. I think living so near work I'd might feel too available. 'I do love the the idea of creating a sense of community (some place you can call your own); but, I don't want to mix work and play. All for giving back to my community and building it up by supporting local businesses. But, I want a clear seperation from work place and my home. While there's that perk of a smaller carbon footprint of not having to drive a long way back and forth. Isn't that what trains and buses are for? I'm curious to know what ya'll think about that (so, leave me a comment on your own commutes)...
