long, maybe, but interesting,... and i *did* ask because i figured there
must be a reason and i was genuinely curious, so it serves me right!
;-) (sorry if anyone else was bored...)
i hope situations improve so you can get back to a more pleasant
arrangement; whether that means the environment changes or you get to a
new one.
cheers!

I live and work in a sort of bad neighborhood. In the summer, it's too
hot. Cold I don't mind, but it's dark. I carry pepper spray/cs gas mix
and I have a concealed carry permit, but I only really feel safe when
I have both of those (99.9% of the time) AND my German Shepherd, who
UNFORTUNATELY is not welcome in my office all day long on a regular basis.
I have walked a few times...but it's just not a nice walk. Blight,
drug dealers, whores (not so much any more) and you always need to be
watching your back.
Kansas City is weird. MY block is nice. 2 blocks away is hell and 2
blocks the other way are million dollar homes. the whole residential
part of the older city (not downtown) is like that.
So I think that's the main reason - its just an unpleasant walk. When
I lived in the BEAUTIFUL little town of Cross Plains, Wisconsin, I
walked to work all the time. I LOVE that town. Wife's "ancestral
homeland". Her great- great - great.... grandfather Engelbert
Übersetzig immigrated there in the early 1850's, opened a saloon and
they've been there ever since. But now they are dairy farmers...and I
brought her here :-(
Long answer, sorry.

jeeze, with a 6 block commute, why are you even *driving* at all?
wouldn't a bicycle work better? ;-)
seriously; do you have too much stuff you need to take with you that
you need to drive? (surely, it can't be the weather; i've comfortably
walked farther than that in Alberta when it was over 40* below,...)
cheers!
