Paying a million dollars for a house in SF isn't an appealing number either, compared to $350k in Santa Rosa.
Less Space taken up by parked cars may mean more space for people to live. Though SF real estate will likely be insane for the foreseeable future any way you look at it.
That 350k might go up once we have self driving cars.
That was my original point.
the 3h can be included in the job time, so you only stay 5h at the office
When your kid's school calls and says he's vomiting and needs to go home, it will make more sense. You're still 2 hours away from home no matter how much work you slam out in the JohnnyCab.
