Don't get me wrong, I love my car and the independence it affords me (besides, with six cylinders and turbo, it great on I-5 when the JQ Laws aint around), but there are folks in Southern California who spend TWO F-CKING HOURS OR MORE in their car ONE WAY! That's sick IMHO.

Luckily I commute to Lansing and not the Detroit area(I-96). If I had to go to Downtown Detroit, Dearborn, Romulus, or Troy it would be at least 90 minutes one way with the backups.

Lansing and Detroit are equal distances(45 miles), but Lansing is much quicker. I can usually make it to Downtown in 40-50 minutes. That's the difference between a metro area of about 225,000 and one of about 3 million.

If a work situation force me to Detroit, I'll be going to Macomb County(Oakland costs too much) unless I'm running for office. I don't mind commutes, but I hate bumper to bumper backups because of some jackass gawking at a cop pulling someone over.
