The only trends that grow at the NYTimes are the ones underneathe their nailbeds. They are a disgusting lot of people so privileged that they can go around poking fun and critisizing everyone else. F them and the parents that guarantor their rents.
Hell, I have deer in my back yard too, and I'm doing half the commute even during Summer of Hell. No bald eagles but would you accept a bunch of buzzards? Only 1/3 acre but at least I get to see it now and then.
The article's point is that it is a growing trend.
writer is stupid because its been that way for at least 15 years. I remember people I met commuting from Poconos 15 years ago. The work at home trend (telecommute) has been around for over a decade. All this is very old news.
I have friends who lives on a variety of combination of acres of land, ocean front properties, rural land, and/or cheap properties. The first drawback is that the commute is usually far. No need to whine about it.
Long commutes are draining. I'd rather live in a studio and walk to work.
Anyways, I hear the Poconos is full of crime ever since NYCHA started some kind of tax program that allowed its tenants to live/ recreate at the Poconos.

Where did you get the idea that the article was whining about long commutes, as opposed to just reporting a trend?

I can't find the actual NYCHA article (that I remember reading - I think from the New York Times), but in the meantime, anyone who's interested can start reading below:

So your saying that the Poconos is "full of crime" is really code for "full of minorities". From the first article:
"Like Brown, many here are part of a black and Latino migration from metro New York City that in the last decade tripled the ratio of minorities in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, near the Delaware Water Gap. As a result, the Stroudsburg area–almost lily white a generation ago–now boasts braiding salons, a Caribbean restaurant, and other amenities that once would have taken a trip to Harlem to find. The clientele are New York City municipal workers such as cops and transit workers, along with private-industry employees, who moved to the mountains looking for peace and quiet and big, cheap houses."
