Well, I don't really want to live here specifically, and planned to move, but cost-of-living, the general housing situation and mortgage rates don't leave many options at the moment! Wear on the car is real and annoying, but it's still no more expensive than the train would be (and much faster). Funnily enough, working from home here and there isn't always cheaper by train: they ding you 40% of the weekly ticket price and nearly 60% of the monthly if you want a carnet of tickets (which expire within about 6 weeks). Season tickets also don't include some routes.
