It's just someone prioritizing things differently. I would never commute more than 20-30 minutes (one way) pre-COVID. I will only work remotely from now on, maybe a scheduled day in the office every week for a killer opportunity with a resume-changing company.

But if you live in a HCOL area, and you want a yard, you're pretty much locked in to hour+ one-way commutes.

Back between 1990 and 2005, I lived in Austin before moving to north Alabama. My commute when I was working on Redstone Arsenal was exactly an hour each way. I didn't really mind for several reasons.

One of which was that my 6 mile commute in Austin took between 45 minutes to an hour.
