I hope you understand that "why not cut your commute" is a highly privileged question; I'm happy its been easy for you, but wfh is not a guarantee in most lines of work, and neither is reasonable CoL anywhere; wherever you live, you still need to pay bills (and not to mention that the process of moving itself is rarely easy). And there's a lot of things I would love/want to do that I "simply" don't, because I either can't afford it, or its otherwise incompatible with my current position in life/security. This is part of being an adult. And I have a decent relationship with most family members near me, but spending time with them is still eventually mentally exhausting, I moved out for a reason. I suspect more extroverted people do not experience such exhaustion from continued socializing (which would obv be more frequent in a multigenerational/multifamily home), so thats why I mentioned it.
