re: #78 Silvergirl

If the house makes it worthwhile, happy commuting. It would be my last choice. Even listening to recorded books couldn’t make up for that snarl of traffic.

It’s rough. I used to work with a lady whose daughter and son in law, during the height of the housing boom, bought a lovely place in the absolute sticks of Northern California. The problem was, he worked three hours away.

He left the house at four in the morning, and got back at eight in the evening on a good day. Six months in, he was nearly suicidal. They sold the house.
