    in my city

    There’s the difference. Most people aren’t commuting inside the city. If I were to live in the city where my job is, commuting would be drastically cheaper (though I’d also just bike it, but thats a different matter).

    The cost of living there, though, is astronomically high. It also wouldn’t work out for my wife, who works more in the agricultural industry, not even getting into the other factors like public schools/quality of education, air quality, etc.
