20 miles is considered a short commute if you work downtown and live in the suburbs.
If a 20+ mile bumper to bumper drive round trip is 2 hours a day, and someone does that for years then moves considerably closer in with no drop in standard of living and drives maybe 30-mins round trip they will not go back to life in the far outskirts. We never moved out, but plenty of friends did and hated it. I hate traffic, it is what it is, which is life sucking to me and huge waste of time and $ during a year, much less over a life time.
A friend moved back here from Magnolia, TX after talking his wife into moving to the 'burbs again and working near downtown Houston. He said the best thing he has ever done is finding a house 10 minutes from his office, and this was a guy that was driving 45 miles round trip before he left ATL for Houston/Magnolia. Some learn the hard way.
