Same here. Go from upper east side to jersey city

Been doing it for 19 years. Lived 7 miles from the office in one city, 12 miles in another and now I live 43 miles away. All took an hour. I could move closer to save about 25 minutes each way, but I’d have half the house, 1/30th of the land and about 6k more in property taxes.

BR to Madisonville a few times a week. No biggie

I'm not sure where you live but the average commute in North Texas DFW is 45 minutes, my office is 27 miles but took 45 min to an hour each way.

I work from home now but commuted for 20 years.

You do what you have to do.

done that already

there are many factors that could make the answer either way

Not only did I do it, but I did it when the I-10 expansion from the split to Highland was going on several years ago and I lived off Highland. In the mornings, it was that construction zone, across BR, the bridge, and the basin, then Lafayette traffic. In the afternoons, it was Lafayette traffic, the basin, the bridge, across BR, and then the construction zone.

I'd leave home at 5 am to miss traffic and I'd leave work about 6:30 to miss traffic. About an hour fifteen each way.

Every.
fricking.
Day.

I goddamned hated it and only did it until something better opened up closer to home.

If the pay/quality of job was worth it, sure!
