Would you be more willing to live 2 hours outside of SF if you could hop in a self-driving car 3x/week and watch a movie/surf the net during a trip into the office? That's the most exciting part of it for me.
- saidajigumi 11y agoOn one hand I get this; folks have been pulling crazy long commutes in the NYC area for decades. But the very idea of four hours per day of commuting being "exciting" in the age of completely practical remote work is baffling to me.
- toast0 11y agoSure, but many [crazy] people are already doing 4 hour commutes, so they can keep they job they want, in the office, and have an affordable house. If they can do that and make commute time entertainment time, that's actually a significant improvement in their life.
- aidenn0 11y agoMy commute is currently the longest it's been in 10 years at 7 minutes (as my family has grown, I've had to move further from downtown). Having commuted longer distances, both by bus and by car, I still say that nothing beats a short commute.
- mhurron 11y agoThe only way that's a good idea is if you could work in your car and have it part of your work day. If it's just commute, no, that's still a disgustingly long commute that is taking 4 hours of your day away from you.
