Interesting. Hadn't thought of that.

It's true. I moved from DC and my commute is 30 min but mostly along country roads and it doesn't wear me out like my 30 min DC commute did. Plus it's predictable.

DH commutes 20 mins each way by car, mostly local roads so not too trafficky. I WAH. Would not have it any other way. Our friends have bigger/nicer houses for less money further out and make fun of us for DH not wanting to drive further.

To each his own.
