Maybe it's because you're in Minnetonka, but you think you're in Minneapolis.

I live in Minneapolis and have no interest in commuting out to Minnetonka. I won't even bother checking job postings out there. Unless you live on the western suburbs, getting to Minnetonka is a huge pain.

I believe the article was about the entire Twin Cities area, not just Minneapolis/St. Paul proper.

I suspect if you shared the details of the commute that scare you so much, you'd be surprised how much worse it could be in other parts of the country.

That's why we don't live in other parts of the country.

It's not about a pissing contest who has worse traffic. It's that I don't need to get a job with a commute, so I don't.

I don't have such a hard time getting to Minnetonka and back from Minneapolis. It's about twenty minutes each way with a rare slow down. In the summer I get to cycle past lakes Harriet, Calhoun, and Cedar on my way to the luce line trail which takes me all the way to the office. That's a pretty great way to start/end the day IMHO.

I'm glad I didn't have such a bias when I took the job as my equity arrangement gets more exciting every month.
