I did not clarify that I was excluding places where someone would have good access to mass transportation like New York City, Chicago, etc. Only a small percentage of people who work in these major cities commute by car from 75 miles away or further plus sit in stop & go traffic for long periods of time.
What I should have said was that only in CA would large numbers of people who had to travel by car to get to work……..live 75+ miles from their homes and sit in stop & go traffic for long periods of time, just to find a cheaper home.
