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

but not be paying Chicago prices for homes. That being said, we still have $500k homes, they're just 2 story, 5 bedroom monsters or in very expensive suburbs

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
