Nthing the shit about commutes. I wound up living 10-15 minutes on foot from the ferry for a year a while back... and I was still like 90 minutes from everywhere. Midtown, Bushwick, even a job in DUMBO right by the private ferry... with the transit layout, ~90 minutes. Honestly the ferry ride portion is the nicest commute I've ever had, great to wake up to the harbor with some swill terminal coffee, but not worth it.
