In the 80's I purposely bought a house only 12 minutes away from where I
planned to work until retirement. But this is Los Angeles so that 12
minutes eventually turned into a painful 30-45 with few work-from-home
options. When I got outsourced and got a new job, I remember calling
the owner of the new company asking what office I should work at and he
basically replied, "What in the world are you talking about - I don't
want you wasting time driving." Now that's a modern attitude!

Yeah, I commuted half an hour one-way on the interstate for a good many years
and took it for granted. I would have said it didn't cause any stress. Then
my wife talked me into buying a house in a different location, and suddenly I
was commuting ten minutes by back roads...and I realized I'd been wrong, it
really did make a difference.
