While that definitely works whenever doable, I'd say investing in much better infrastructure to reduce commuting time and complexity is the other big factor. Living far away from the workplace isn't a biggie if I can take for example a train and be there in a reasonable amount of time. For sure an expensive solution but a solution that will pay off nevertheless.
- nerdchum 3y agoCompletely agree. But you still hit a limit at some point, even with commuter trains and mass transit. I mean does anyone want to take a train 2 hours both ways to get to work? We just need good jobs/offices available in other regions.
