Per Square Mile: Marchetti's constant, or why the 30 minute commute is here to stay

Per Square Mile: Marchetti's constant

“How far should you live from work?”
I pondered that question a few weeks ago after perusing American Community Survey data compiled by Charlie Gardner. It showed that most people in most metro areas in the United States tended to commute about 30 minutes each way to work, give or take a few.  

Interesting.
