I figured that to live where I worked would have cost twice as much as 
living with an hour commute. I also got living in a beach community with a 
low-key, low-stress lifestyle as part of the bargain.

Everyone would live where they work, if real estate was affordable.

Yep, I used to listen to podcasts on the way to work, and ran a team meeting
