Sure. I think most of us (at least me and groiny for sure) are used to the "suburban" model where we can still leave near Chicago - oblique Sep 14, 11:53 7
- right, if i went an hour outside the city, it goes wayyyyyyy down. -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 11:57 3
  - Yup. We're contemplating adding a 45-minute commute for a bigger/cheaper house (in a couple years). - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 12:00
  - That makes more sense. That didn't look like a "city" house but sure had the city prices. My commute is 1hr+ and I don't even make it to downtown -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 11:58 1
    - yeah, that does make more sense. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 12:05
- We've dismissed many of the suburban areas near us because the commute would be hellish. We'd need Leafs or Volts. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 11:56 2
  - It's all a trade off, that's for sure. I get a bigger house but pay for the gas and time to get to work. -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 11:56 1
    - If we didn't have to get into the heart of downtown every workday, it would be an option -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 11:57
