That's a heck of a thing to think about - do you want a job or do you want to be happy in that job? Being a veteran of the crappy commute and location situation (hey, they tend to build the kind of power plants that I used to work at 25 miles from nowhere), I found that the money usually made things at least bearable. But it sounds as if you're not even going to get that. As they say, it's a buyers market - they can (and will) find someone else who will take the job at what they're offering.
So, and I know you know this, you and Peggy are going to have to decide just how much you want to compromise with this. A job now that's in a bad location (for you) for less money than you want, or decline and see if something better turns up later (kind of like selling a house - how much are you willing to cut your asking price before you just can't do it any more)
Like I said, a heck of a situation.
