My current commute is about 15-20 minutes, depending on route, traffic, and stops at the WaWa.
When I move my commute will be 7 minutes, including a stop at the WaWa.
At home I currently have to park between 40-50 yards away from my door. I don't have much control over this, as the building layout is such that I have a minumum of 30 yards of sidewalk to the door.
At work my arrival time is such that I get to use a visitor parking space most of the time, so I'm right across from the door. A full parking lot with no handicapped spaces open means that I have to park around the side of the building, which is not a problem in the daytime, but too dark and isolated for nighttime use. People do fairly regularly threaten to kill me, after all.
As far as the handicapped spaces thing goes, as I know there is a potential for outcry ... my office has five, and I won't park in one unless there are at least two remaining open when I pull in, three if the handicapped nurse is working and her car isn't already parked. We have HR's permission to do this because of the scary side parking lot effect. The handicapped spaces don't get a lot of use. My other option is to park in one of the Ambulance spaces. I've done that too. The car gets moved as soon as a regular space opens up.
