25 minute car drive. I almost never have traffic jams during my commute. The longest it has taken me was around 40 minutes when I had to take a detour due to farmers protests.
I have a bus stop near my house. It takes 45 minutes to get to the city of my job and then I have to take another bus to get to my job itself.
It would probably take a bit over 1 hour to get there on a bicycle. I would get extra money if I went to work on a bicycle. The main reason I don't cycle to work is that I don't think it's safe.
Most of the route I would have ride on a little strip 2 meter away from cars and trucks going 90km/h. Or I can take a longer route where I have to ride on a little strip right next to traffic going 70km/h.
They're right, a beach house isn't a dream. It's a nightmare.
Your house will constantly get sand inside. If there is a bit of wind your house gets sandblasted. You can't eat outside or seagulls will steal your food. Walking on sand is more difficult than walking on pavement or grass. You would have to be a madman to go live on a beach.
