- kypro 8y agoAssuming that did happen - which I doubt - what's so wrong with that? Presumably they're only willing to commute 3 hours because they feel they're getting a better deal than what they could get locally? Why would you force them to choose what they consider a worse job?
- oxryly1 8y agoNothing wrong with it per se. The externalities of it are a disaster, though: carbon depletion and pollution, traffic congestion, traffic related injuries and death, feeding the automotive industrial beast, less time for family and community commitments, less sense of belonging, etc etc...
- circlefavshape 8y agoExactly! Life gets shittier for mechanics. And cleaners. And teachers ... until eventually it doesn't matter, because all accommodation in the city is owned by investors who don't actually live there
