That's a bold statement and I have so many questions.

Let me pick a simple one: do people regularly drive half an hour or more to send their kids to school?

Maybe half an hour is long but I'd say, if a kid doesn't take the school bus, it's probably not that out of the norm.

Yup, and if kids can take a bus, then so can adults. I realize this isn't the case for everyone, but in the case of the tech professionals that likely make up the bulk of the HN audience, living in a place that's a 30+ minute drive to work was a choice that person made.
