Oh, I fully understand. You wouldn’t walk 8 miles to commute unless you enjoy doing so. I don’t because I hate it. You don’t have to live in NYC to live close to work. I live 3 miles from my last job. Several of my ex-coworkers would bike through the canyons to work. Do you walk to work when it’s 0 degrees outside? In SD, you can walk 365/year. Which is why I say, if you’re obese in SD, you’ll be obese anywhere. People like you would be walking here too, but the weather here would allow you to do so more often.
