Oh you mean like an area 60 miles away from work with a 2 hour commute each way or maybe Nebraska
Smack your head all you want. Some people do have long commutes to keep their spending under control. That happens quite frequently. Why do you think so many high COL areas have commuter rail?

Nope, the point is location is paramount and the first thing you did was change it, so again thanks for making my point.
"Live somewhere where rent is lower" (changing locale)
Here's a comment just made that you might have missed
Nope, the OP is correct and you are not...
You live in a high cost area...you do what you need to do. Get a roommate to share rent/utility expenses. Share a commute with someone to half your gas costs. And so forth. Brown bag your lunch. I could go on and on

Living in an exurb rather than the city isn't "changing location." For example, the longest commuter rail ride into Chicago is about 1.5 hours. And that's on an express route (bypasses many stops). Smart people use that commute time productively.

LOL...yes, tell that to a family of 4. Cool story Bro.
And no, I don't live there now because I understand the situation, unlike you.

Indeed it is. That would require someone in the Bay Area to live somewhere like Vacaville, so yeah, you're no longer living in San Francisco. But luckily, there actually is a subway that would get someone to work in just over 2 hours one way. And the cost for that ride....just under $11 each way. Good job sport.
Many will simply move and drive up the cost of housing and rent in Red state such as.....dare I say....Texas
