Depends on where you live. I had to move that far out to afford rent on a one-bedroom. McMansion? Don’t make me laugh.
And, yes, I do need a car, if I don’t want my 40 minute one-way commute to turn into 2 hours. The systems were not designed by the people who use them.
I suppose I could choose to live closer… But I am not suited personality-wise to have that many roommates.
I applaud Millennials for recognising how bullshit much of this is.
