I think it is rare that the only possible job in the area that doesn't require commuting is working at McDonald's.
You're right, I forgot to mention Subway, the gas station, or Safeway.

Yep.
I work 3 1/2 miles from work and still spend $20-$30/week on gas.
I think your situation is very uncommon to have one car and not drive many places. My sister is a sahm and she is out everyday driving. There is always some errand to do or bring her son to school.
I think that there is a problem in that people are completely willing to live and work in different communities, rather than working to make the community they live in a place they can work or the community they work in a place they can live.
Well my community is about 5 square miles.
Not always. My father always commuted when he worked here in NY. The job was stable and paid much better than anyplace around our town.
I would want a job close to home if I moved but I wouldn't make it my first priority if the pay was good.
You really still don't get it.
