	Commuter town - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A commuter town, also known as a bedroom community (U.S. usage), dormitory town (UK and Commonwealth usage), or less commonly dormitory village (UK and Commonwealth) is a community that is primarily residential in character, with most of its workers commuting to a nearby town or city to earn their livelihood.
		Commuter towns may be in rural or semi-rural areas, but urban sprawl and conurbation have erased clear lines among towns and cities in large metropolitan areas.
		Often, however, commuter towns form when the workers in a region cannot afford to live in the particular town in which they are employed and are forced to seek residency in another town with a lower cost of living.

	Guardian \| Commuter town hit hardest where everyone knew a victim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Jardin cemetery on the hillside at the edge of the commuter town of Alcala de Henares, 15 miles from Madrid, has eight rooms available for the traditional day of mourning around the coffin when people from the town die.
		Up to 40 more corpses were waiting their turn in impromptu morgues at Madrid's Ifema exhibition halls and at the town's Juncal sports centre as this town of 190,000 realised that, with the trains which were bombed all leaving from or passing through their rail station, it was going to suffer worse than anywhere else.
		The town's station, from where those red and white single or doubledecker trains had left, was a shadow of itself at rush-hour yesterday morning.

		Three years ago, the ESRI identified Carlow as an "emerging large commuter town" - even as an ambitious masterplan was being prepared proposing it as a "model town for sustainable living" in the 21st century.
		Although the Carlow 800 masterplan and civic vision for the town won two certificates of merit in the Irish Planning Institute's annual awards last year, mainly for the extensive exercise in public consultation that lay behind it, putting it into practice is another matter.
		Such an injection of funding is important for a town lacking a huge commercial rates base that can be tapped every year to finance local authority projects, including the creation of much-needed recreational facilities to cater for Carlow's haphazardly growing population.

	About the Town of Sharon
		The Town of Sharon looks like a typical New England town--its central Post Office Square marked by three tall white church spires, its tree-lined streets leafing green in summer and traced with delicate white lace in winter.
		Yet this picture postcard comes to life as a busy commuter town of professionals, academics, civil servants, and business people as well as local enterprises, restaurateurs, artists, and active participants in a network of civic organizations.
		Many town residents have second- and third-generation family roots in Sharon, but the town is also notable for its diversity and openness to newcomers.
