Does anyone commute from Orange County to San Bernardino for work?

If so why?

Would you choose living for better quality of life in the Orange County area or the San Bernardino County area?

Thanks and I hope you can help.

Most commute from the I.E. to Orange County, so you would be one of few that would do this. Paying more for gas and a home would detour most from doing such. Where in San Bernardino is your job?

Default Avoid the commute if you can...

I have lived in O.C. my whole life but I have some family in San Bernardino and Redlands. The drive to see them, even on the weekends, is often twice as long as it should be because of the traffic on the 91 freeway.

If you can avoid the commute, I absolutely would. Aside from the astronomical price of gas, the extra time spent in a car driving to and from work in traffic would outweigh the cost of living in the O.C. for a lot of people.

I hope this helps!

You would be going the opposite way of most traffic. San Bernardino is NOT a nice place to live, blazing hot desert in the summer, roaming gangs, horrible schools, tagging, gang scrawl on every ugly bathroom in every public facility-restaurant-store-etc you can imagine. Prices are collapsing there. OC is in trouble as well, but there is no better place to live in the LA,OC,IE metroplex better than South OC. That is my opinion, but PLEASE DO NOT subject yourself to the living H - E - Double Hockey Sticks that the Inland Empire is. As a former lifetime OC'er who is now living in Colorado, trust me.

The price of gas can NEVER, NEVER, NEVER make it worth it under any circumstances. Just get a fuel effecient car and live in the OC

the problem is the drive sucks crap. 91 still sucks going toward the 15 in morning traffic and while im unsure about the 10 or the 60, im sure they have problems too, even then you're forced using the 57, 605, or surface to get there if you want to avoid the worst part of the 91(the 71 will take you there too, but then you've already past the worst traffic)

some people i know cut across to the 15N using ortega hwy, but i hear thats no picnic either. ive never driven that route during rush hour
