Yikes.

No wonder this country has issues with both air pollution & obesity![/quote]

Oh, yikes yourself.  Consider yourself most fortunate that you have 40 minutes a day to walk to/from a 25 minute train ride, for a grand total of a 65 minute commute.   Some of us need to get multiple kids to two different places -- let's say, Preschool A and elementary school B -- and then be at our desks within 15 minutes of that drop off moment.

When I was single and then childless in DC, I too had endless amounts of time to wander around on foot in search of just the perfect hand-crafted salume plate or Barre class.  Or I'd walk home from Farragut West to Woodley if I felt like it and the cherry blossoms were out.   When your panicky kid is waiting at the door with the aftercare lady, who's furiously texting you while you do your part to cut back on "air pollution and obesity," you grow the hell up and prioritize.
