The Price of Gas...

[Sofaspud]

It is not unheard of for people to commute nearly an hour to work in some parts of the US.

Good, maybe that will encourage people to start living in the goddamn cities again, like they should be.

Oh, but I do.  Unfortunately, the city I *live* in doesn't have a job for me that pays well enough for me to live here; the city I *work* in is too expensive for me to live in.  It's nowhere near as implausible as it sounds, and I'm hardly unusual.
Just to add icing to the cake, there is *no* mass transit between the two.  Not even Greyhound, if you consider that mass transit.
Is it a lousy situation?  Sure!  But it's also nowhere near as clear-cut as "live in the goddamn cities", either.
