If you work in Manhattan or on the SF Bay peninsula, it is unlikely that you can afford to live there. You don't see something wrong with this? Maybe we as a society are messed up because we consider a one hour commute (one way) to be "normal". Maybe we need to start reconsidering the value of living closer to where we work, or the fact that you can't get "Quality of life, better schools, proximity to outdoor activities, etc" close to where we work. Maybe if wages were more competitive, or housing costs weren't inflated, we could afford to live closer to where we work.
