re: Why do people live and work where it is insanely expensive and requires long commutes?

I would hate a 1.5 hour commute each way. You're basically giving up 3 hours a day of your life to live there
Seems like a good time to read a book, listen to music or a podcast, Tigerdroppings, or just general internet. I know I probably spend well over 3 hours/day doing all that.

For being such great places to live why is everybody so angry in NYC and Boston? Angry, Angry people.

It’s 7-0 in the Iron Bowl and Alabama is losing. I’d say I’m pretty happy.

I dont think the densely packed areas of the northeast is known for laid back people. Theyre wound tighter than hell

It’s definitely a different mentality. I wouldn’t say people are “angry”, but they aren’t as nice as people in the south.
I just think people in the northeast don’t deal with bullshite with as much patience as people in the south. It’s almost admirable how blunt they can be.

Because you and your fat arse family walk down the middle of the sidewalk 5 wide slower than molasses and I have places to be.

I don’t know, Roger. You seem to be pretty on edge lately. Maybe Alaska is not as relaxing as you think.

You live in Maurepas. What could be worse than that?

Is there really nothing to do in other places?
I live in Birmingham, AL and have plenty to do. I can afford to take my family to NYC or SF to do those things if I want.
Seems like there's better opportunities to build a resume out there. I get that.
But I also love my 15 minute commute, 4 bedroom house for $1500/month, and comfy budget on a modest salary.
Everyone values location differently than everyone else. For some people it’s the ocean. For some it’s the mountains. For some it’s desert air.
If I lived in B’ham I’d be snorting 8 balls of Prozac not to take a couple razor blades to the wrists in a warm bathtub.

Not necessarily specific to your example, however the majority of people who do it were people who 1: bought further out before the economic collapse and aren't able to get what they want out of their house still to this day. 2: are victims of white flight. 3: don't care.

Is this a brag? I have a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath, 2 car garage with a $600/month mortgage ITP Atlanta.
