You could be home already.

[Imsriram]

Have you noticed that the traffic is backed up in both directions every morning. You could be home already if you lived along this strip.

Could you please help me with the above sentence?

Thanks in advance.[/b]

I'm assuming the context is the text at http://eleganthomesinwesttoronto.blogspot.com/2011/06/imagine-you-could-be-home-already.html (and elsewhere), in which the author is selling the benefits of living in a particular location in Toronto.

"You could be home already" means that, as you are driving past this location on your way home (which is presumably a lot further away), you would, if you lived in that location, already be home.

To me, the passage does not totally make sense. Previously it's been talking about the traffic being backed up in both directions every morning, yet in the morning the great majority of people are driving to work, not driving home. There are other small errors sprinkled through the text (like the missing question mark in the first sentence).
