Fresno is the largest city in America not on an Interstate, we still have freeways, we have 4! LOL!
Also, you can get the house being described with a 20 min commute in Fresno, the only problem is that you need to have a job. The only real good jobs in Fresno are teacher, college professor, government employee, doctor, or lawyer, or some type of self-employed professional services type.
Also, on a side note, thanks to Croc, the company that does that "birds eye view" is going to be getting some business from the law firm I work at because their photos are so good.
