How far do you live from work / school / your daily gig?

I live one mile from the new job, not currently in school and the gigs aren't quite daily.

I live off campus, about a mile from school. B/c I walk as much as I can, I think it may be a little less than that from work.

I live three or four blocks from campus, although it's the wrong side of campus for my classes.

I live in the "student ghetto" (the few blocks around campus with cheap housing, mostly slummy places) about half a mile from campus. It's just far enough away that I can't justify walking aaaaallllll the way to school.

Because of health problems, I'm essentially confined to the house.

I live about two miles away from my main work. . .I walk it almost every day.

School is a 3 minute bus ride from here, and a 35 minute ride back. There is a logic to this that I could express if I tried...but I don't feel like bothering.

I work about 30 miles from my home and thus commute everyday to and fro via new car which was bought because the old car left me on the side of the road one too many times and ate too much of my working dollars.

I live about 10 minutes away from school. Next year, if I go to the college I'm hoping to go to, I will be 45 minutes away from my family's home, and I'll live right on campus.

If there were no traffic, it would take me about 25 minutes to get to work everyday. However, with the extreme amount of traffic that I have to deal with, it usually takes me about 45 minutes. That's only going to get worse, as I'll be moving toward the end of the year to a place where it will take me longer to get to work in the morning. So I guess I should be thankful for the 45 minutes now, because it will probably be a lot more than that later on.
