Most people make those choices because they don’t have better ones available. They would love to live closer to work, but it’s not viable for many reasons. I’m sure you consider them invalid or of less importance than whatever you prioritize in your life, but suggesting that the solution to other people’s problems is just to do something they can’t easily do is quite arrogant and out of touch.

Making bad decisions over and over is a definition of stupidity.

If you continue to ignore obvious operations of the universe, you, yourself might fall into the stupid category, but at least you can give yourself prestige, thinking you're fight for someone, when really you are holding them back, like a consumptive mother, chaining her babies down, lest they fledge.

And your offense seems rooted in my calling out stupidity, as if the word does not deserve to exist, itself. It does exist, and you can't take away my right to describe what I see, you nincompoop.

Do you believe in God? And some people are fated, destined to be long commuters?

It's stupid to do something that sucks and not think of a better option.

Whereas your position is ignorant, because you are ignoring such obvious truths!
