I have a dream of living somewhere that at most requires me to bike 20 minutes while rarely/never driving. But I also want a place that isn't super crowded and I can have a garden. Tall order, I know.

I had that and it was the best time of my life. Three miles to work so 45 mins to walk, 15 to bike, and bus could be in the single digits if I was lucky. I was renting from these sisters who owned a four flat and they asked If I want to use half the garden. Then get this. They had a guy till it each spring and put weed blocker cloth over the whole thing. Then they would ask when they went somewhere if I would water it. Oh my the hardship /s. It was so awesome. Unfortunately lost my job at the time and my wife and I had to move in with my brother (we have our own place again. for now anyway.)
