▲ 562 ▼ TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail. (en.wikipedia.org) submitted 1 year ago* by Davriellelouna@lemmy.world to c/til@lemmy.world 140 comments fedilink hide all child comments
[–] toppy@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Won't it be easier for you to live near your job place. 2 hours to and from work each day is exhaustive. Don't you think ? What is your job ? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago Maybe if it was just me I’d do that. But I love our house and garden and the quiet and dark late at night and the clean(er) air. And with a husband and pets a cohabitation situation in a small place in a city just isn’t ideal. The only thing it would save me is commute time, but as I use my commute to be productive or relax it doesn’t feel like nearly enough of a burden to even consider it. If I still had to do the commute daily I’d switch jobs though, but I wouldn’t go and live anywhere closer to where most of the good jobs are. permalink fedilink source parent
