Why do you believe that people consider transportation only as an
afterthought?  Why can't it be that most people consider the housing
decision as a package deal, and that they just don't think of 
transportation in the same way that you do, or they don't value it
as highly as you do?  Your wish for others to "rearrange" their
priorities to match yours has the same problem that I discussed
in reply to your other article.  As for the matter of an "earlier"
consideration, when but at the time of house shopping would you
think appropriate for this consideration?
