Perhaps the difference is that today's outskirts are impractically far away. 2 hours commute per day? That's more than 10% of my awake time. i.e. Fuck that.

- fennecfoxen 12y agoThere are two ways a commute of 2 hours a day of commuting can work out. One, if you can actually get work done while commuting. (That has a couple implications -- usually it means a train, not a subway, so you can get a little Internet, and there's a minimum commute length before you can actually get productive.) Two, if a substantial portion of that commute doubles as your daily exercise, and you can enjoy it and improve your health. (Usually this means a bicycle, which brings along certain weather-related implications to its practicality. Think it works better in Silicon Valley with its mild mild climate and utterly predictable rain.)
