Aware that this is not how everyone feels but, IMO: you'd really have to mis-design your life to have a 90-120 minute commute. It's almost always possible to live near where you work, and it's a lot more important than most other comforts.

On the German city I live on, 1h is the bare minimum comute time, to cross across three districts with public transports, and better not lose those connections.
Closer to work, would be great, if I could afford the shinny prices of the rentals on the district the office is located on.
Which would be the complete opposite from districts where other family members work on.

When you’re married with a working spouse, it becomes much harder.
Then when you have kids you need to think about where they go to school and you might want to live close enough to grandparents that they can help out. These constraints make living close to work impossible for a huge chunk of people.
