Isn't this the point. Most people don't want to live 1hr away, so are forced into more expensive land.
- anoncoward111 8y ago1hr is "close" by NY standards now.
- perl4ever 8y ago1 hour is 50 miles in my part of NY.
- scarejunba 8y agoIt's 7 miles from the Outer Sunset to the Embarcadero in SF.
- mmt 8y agoThis corresponds, IIUC, to a 45-minute minimum ride on public transit, not counting waiting and walking times. I'm not sure if driving is any faster, but maybe not, when parking and walking (if in-building parking is unavailable or prohibitively expensive). That means it could still be a full hour away. That intra-SF travel by transit motor vehicle could be slower than coming from outside the city could be a quirk specific to SF, something I mentioned in another thread [1].
