It isn't easily remedied in some areas of the country. Southern California, for instance, is famous for its "bedroom communities" which are just big old subdivisions in areas of the state people can almost afford to live in, and then they have two hour commutes to the towns they work in, but can't afford to live in. There are few jobs in the bedroom communities and lots of jobs in the cities where only the wealthy can afford to live. My sister moved out from California a couple of years ago because when gas prices were so high, between the commute and child care, she couldn't afford to keep working out there!

My MIL lived in Long Beach for 5 years. The traffic really is unbelievable.

My DD2 is a teacher and is great at it. That did not come from my gene pool. Her sisters and I are all in agreement that we could never spend our day with 21 six year olds.
