Everyone I know with a long commute can afford a shorter commute, they just trade the commute for a larger single-family dwelling.

- jrks11o 2y agoyeah, “can afford” doesn’t mean I should, props to them
- hamandcheese 2y agoI'm mostly just observing that long commutes for techies is driven by American cultural norms. I have some sympathy for the ones with kids, zero sympathy for the rest.
- smugma 2y agoMost of the tech employees I know in SF could have shorter commutes with larger houses but choose to have smaller houses and longer commutes to live in the city rather than the suburbs. Why? Access to people in parks, cafes, bars, restaurants, events, “culture”, single people.
