WHY???? Why dont you move north? I mean you rent right? So you could move to like Oside or Cbad or even southern OC and find rents in your range. Certainly within a couple hundred dollars rent, which would be ofset by the extra gas you use. No judgement or hate or anything. I just hate to commute. I drive from Far western MM to LJ, a grand drive of about 5-6 miles and I cant wait till we move so it will be 4 miles and if I hit the lights, about 5 minutes.
Also, not to be a dick but forced drives like that are why oil prices can rise 5x in 6 years and demand falls like .5%. You know it isnt good for your family (long commutes take you away more), your kids (what kind of world are we leaving them too?) and your wallet. I commend you for the prius and such. I am not trying to pass a value judgement or anything. I just dont understand the logic. You dont understand your coworkers logic of driving a SUV everyday, so this is one step more, I dont understand why you DRIVE so far, even if it was 3 days a week.
