Are Commuter Churches an Acceptable Accomodation to Commuter Culture?

Yesterday I did a post which launched off of a post by Anthony Bradley where he was encouraging us to attend the church nearest our house if it fit our denomination. 

Judging by the comments, Anthony's suggestion isn't fairing too well, at least in the Jollysphere, it might be doing better elsewhere.  I'll grant that he may have been hyperbolic, over the top and may have overstated his case, but I really believe he is on to something.  He's wrestling with what it means to be missional in 21st century America and with what, if any, obligations we have to the neighborhoods in which we live.

In my heart I am with him on this.  I do think we've lost a sense of "neighborhood" and "community" and think we would be better off to recover it. 

I want to do another post on the subject taking Anthony's side, but let me play devil's advocate here and advance an argument whose merits I am not sure of but which raises what I believe are some legitimate counterpoints to what Anthony is saying.

I'll put the argument in the form of a question - are commuter churches a legitimate accomodation to commuter culture?  In other words, we live in a commuter culture, at least in the suburbs.  When a missionary goes to a foreign culture he or she makes legitimate accomodations to that culture.  In Africa you may go to a church which holds services under a shade tree, in China you meet stealthily in house churches and so on and so on.  If you are in a place without cars or public transportation this will affect where you worship.

I suggest it is our commuter culture that makes it possible and even desirable for many to worship outside of their neighborhoods.  Without cars and/or public transportation our church choices would be much more limited, but with them we can go to churches outside the neighborhood which share our ideology, our demographic profile, our causes, etc..

So, is this a bad thing?  Is the commuter culture, which is inimical to neighborhood development, necessarily bad?  Is there anything wrong with creating communities not based on geographical proximity?  If not, then is there anything wrong with having churches that adapt to this commuter culture?  Why would such churches not be a legitimate missiological accomodation to such a culture?
