The median commute time results in spending almost 10 days commuting a year.

Considering the kind of people I'd have to live amongst if I lived near the jobs 20 days is a small price to pay for freedom and sanity.

Given the discussion is about working from wherever you want, that’s your choice. You can live in the centre of a city, or in a cabin in the woods. You have the power. You have the freedom.

What “kind of people”?

Thank you for asking. It seems like everyone is assuming I meant I don't want to live among people of a certain complexion, nationality, economic status or perhaps some other criteria like that.

The people I don't want to live among are the kind that have a lot of money and not a lot of problems.

I get along better with street pharmacists than I do with doctors and lawyers.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm right there with you.

Why pay that when you can work remote instead?
