I agree, but only because the office is a 25 minute walk away. If I was driving an hour I’d feel different.

Because you have common sense; so many of these commenters seem to think that it’s somehow everyone else’s fault they chose to live in a place where everything is a 3 hour drive away.

  • Yeah, that works at best only as long as you're single; once you live together with a partner, it's highly likely one of you will be getting a long commute.

    • In a proper metro area, where jobs and housing are concentrated, this isn't such an issue, as there’s a high probability both your and your partner’s jobs would be quickly commutable.

      Sadly, America’s backwards zoning policies have led to a situation where nothing is typically near anything else. But hey, at least people can have huge front yards that they never ever, use for anything! That’s something!
