Again, that's a choice to be made, but once it's made, no bitching about traffic problems! I would personally find it difficult to live my life where my work and home are separated by a mandatory car ride, though 120 miles of hills in the rain a week wears on the mind
i agree. and i approached my commute w/a variety of creative solutions to make it manageable. i'm a big supporter of lightrail from everett to t-town. for many families earning a moderate salary it's often too expensive to live near work. providing light rail will hopefully ease commute times
iain- i agree on living a long way from work but in my life it works better. i don't bitch about my commute. i've tried both approaches. in my case, having to commute to work each day means that i'm not commuting to play each day. and i get to play a lot more than i did when i lived close to work.
