It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

My "daily driver" bike is an early-'90s steel-frame rigid mountain bike (a Specialized HardRock, but it doesn't really matter) that I got for free from a charity bike co-op, took apart, refinished because it was rusty, and put back together. All in, I've spent easily less than $500 on it over a decade and a half of ownership, including adding accessories like smooth street tires, rear rack, front basket, panniers, a good U-lock, lights, etc.
I would happily recommend an identical bike for a use-case like yours.
A "hybrid" bike (which is basically what a bike like mine is called these days anyway) would also work. Or a gravel bike. Or a touring road bike. Basically, just get any decent bike in decent condition made within the last several decades (only avoiding really low-end stuff like single-speeds, coaster brakes, ashtabula (one-piece) cranks, and "high-tensile" steel). Oh, and that's the right size to fit you. That's important.
Otherwise, don't overthink it; whatever random bike you get will be fine. Seriously.
