Such long commutes are insane. People live in big ugly suburban characterless houses. For what? I’d rather live close to the city in a small but high quality house.
A friend of mine is a pilot. He lives in Chicago but commutes to NYC. At least he gets to fly for free.
Regarding the Affluenza article, I feel that hiring people to do chores is more of a status thing than a necessity. From the cars people drive to the clothes they wear it seems to me like everyone is trying to imitate Hollywood. I can’t wait for the economic downturn that’ll bring everyone back down to reality.
