It's all about where you choose to live relative to where you work - my new apartment and my old one are across town from each other, but neither commute took more than 15 minutes at peak rush hour. The same can be said of NY, it's all about positioning to minimize the commute.
Also, working from home is pretty big - we allow about 20% of days to be WFH - and that's zero commute.
- cageface 16y agoWFH would have definitely made things easier, but there's just a certain amount of traffic you have to put up with in L.A. if you want to enjoy the city at all. I'd come home after a long day at work and the idea of trekking across town for a concert or dinner just seemed like too much work. Even in West Hollywood, where I was living and where there was a lot more going on, just dealing with parking and traffic kept me home many nights.
