While I find the comment you replied to poorly stated, I think I can buy the point if modified slightly. No matter how great any city&#x27;s culture is, cities that require one to spend a significant amount of time commuting inherently limit the culture that can be experienced in any given day. I don&#x27;t see how an hour car ride vs. an hour bus&#x2F;train&#x2F;bike ride operates any differently in this regard though inasmuch as the time spent is non-optional for traversing the city.
