When I was young and dumb I took a job with a 70-75 minute commute. I made it maybe a few months before I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was motivated by money and I hate to say that once I got some, I bailed.
These days my commute is 40 minutes which is fine because I don’t even consider jobs over 45 minutes away. Wish it was shorter but 🤷♀️
For a handful of years I lived kinda remote and the commute to just the grocery store was 45, and thankfully my job was too in the same little podunk town. It was there that cemented 45 as my limit
True. People with long commutes are more likely to quit.
Housing will fail? That’s not what it says
It follows that if a proposed housing solution is over an hour from the jobs, it wouldn’t work well. But still a weird conclusion because I can’t recall anywhere that proposed building housing over an hour away from the jobs as a serious housing solution.
Marchetti posits that although forms of urban planning and transport may change, and although some live in villages and others in cities, people gradually adjust their lives to their conditions (including location of their homes relative to their workplace) such that the average travel time stays approximately constant.
Yeah, that’s a strange conclusion.

You are right. I just copied the title of the cross post. Will remove it.
Nah i won’t tolerate longer than 30 mins
It’s 2 30min trips, there and back
In the US it takes 30 minutes to drive from the bedroom to the kitchen
