For about 3 months I had a soul sucking commute in the bay area, everyone's reaction: "only 45 minutes each direction!? you're lucky!" or "that's a reverse commute! you're lucky!" spoiler alert, there is no reverse commute, everyone is driving every direction Once I realized the collective delusion I quit Most of my career has been 10 minute walking commutes at trendy companies in trendy neighborhoods in the middle of a city, max of 20. Statistically this is not possible as others are priced out or the units to live in just don't exist.
