that's probably true for most people, but we BF commuting subfourm members aren't "most people" are we?

we used to live downtown because my job was in the northern burbs and my wife's job was deep on the south side. downtown split that difference for us, so that neither of our commutes were obscenely far. but when my wife left her old job for a new work from home job, i lobbied heavily for us to move to the far northside of the city, in part so that i could reduce my 15 mile one-way commute. it certainly wasn't the only consideration that prompted the move (we were about to have our 1st child and wanted a bigger apartment), but it played a significant role in choosing the specific location (along with the fact that my parents lived nearby, which has been HUGE for helping out with the babies).
