Pretty sure I would be happier living in Paris than Houston, but to each their own. Alain just to be clear, are commutes cumulatively measured both ways in Houston as well, so you mean they spend less than 60 minutes each day commuting? Or do you mean less than 120 minutes (to go and get back)?
That’s pretty good then. My one way commute in Lausanne was 10 minutes by bike (15 on return since...up hill), but I intentionally lived near where I worked and the city. Paris offers similar options, but you don’t get a big place as you would get in the outer districts.
