Why do you live so far from work?  Would you have moved out there or taken
the job (whichever came second) if you DIDN'T have the option of using a
single-user private automobile for the commute?

That's a matter of perspective, really.  It's 21 minutes.  You can round
up by more than fifty percent and call it "double" and that sounds like
more than "very little", but you can also figure that it takes about 21
minutes to make and eat breakfast or peruse a couple sections of the daily
paper, it really is "very little" time.
