Traffic has a lot to do with living in the city. I'm about 6 miles away from major destinations downtown. I mostly work remote, but when I go into the office, it's about 7 miles away in one of the suburbs.

"What about the bus?" you might ask. Well, around here that's kind of a sick joke. It works OK for commuting -- but it turns my 15 minute drive into an hour on the bus with at least one transfer. And what if I'm trying to go to a party that a friend is hosting in the suburbs? In many cases, I'd have to arrange to stay overnight because bus service to that area just stops until morning.

I think it's funny that someone downvoted this comment, it's spot on.
