If it's 30 minutes W/O traffic, is that decent? How much is too much for you WITH traffic? 1 hour? 1.5 hours?
If it's a full-time job (40 hours per week, every week) is working in a nice area more important or working in an ok area but living somewhere nice more important?
Would you ever consider living somewhere cheap and ok ("the dumps") just to save time on commuting?
Or would you live somewhere nice and drive 2-3 times as much to work?
Let's say that the gas prices are NOT a concern.
