Long Commutes To Work

What annoys me is people who complain about long commutes to work. Well, no one told you to live an hour or so from your job, knowing you have to commute to and from work daily. People who do this have no one to blame but themselves. Many employees with bad commutes have them because they work in the city they don't live. For example: If I worked in Boston, wouldn't it make sense to live in Boston? Why live an hour away from Boston knowing I have to commute to work in the city 5 days a week? That eats up fuel, contributes to freeway traffic, among other annoyances. I deal in common sense, and common sense tells me to live close to my job (which I do), so I have less driving, which helps me save on gas, etc. Or if you live in a major city, living on one side of town while working on another. City traffic is hectic as is, and the last thing any city needs is people who live on one side of town while working in another area of the city. Once again, I'm blessed to live and work on the same side of my city.
