So... I've been attending school in Houston at the University of St. Thomas for the last semester and plan to stay here until the end of the next semester. Im really sick of how spread out this city is. It starting to seem like the place was planned through some sick joke to drive people mad because of how long it takes to get from one place to another. Commodities are so hard to get to and dont get me started on much the bumpy roads really screw with your car as well as your stomach.
Any suggestions for a place where the commute is short, commodities are close, and the roadways are nice and smoothly paved?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Omaha maybe? Has a private Catholic University (Creighton) and short commute times with nice roadways. Metro Pop around 900K.
I'm growing interested in Syracuse and Sacramento. Would anyone like to comment on whether or not those cities meet my criteria. After seeing some snapshots from those cities I find them to be really beautiful and interesting.

Spent quite a bit of time in Sacramento and I loved it. Commute time would definitely not meet your criteria though.
Work from home. Find a company that will allow telecommuting. Then you can choose just about any community. Communities with a strong economic base tend to keep their roads in good condition (but not always). An easy way to find out is to pick a few cities that interest you, and then read the city council minutes from the winter months over the past few years.
a 10 minute walk and a 20 minute subway ride to work for me in Baltimore. City living brings with it a 6 screen film complex, a Safeway and a Whole Foods, plenty of retaurants, bars, and shopping all within walking distance. The only time I drive is when I want to see the country! Also a very nice park for walking the dogs.
