- Neat. Is this just something typical of the Northwest, or is it
- Microsoft that gets its emplyees houses near the plant? In Northern
- New Jersey, a 20-mile commute is common. Many commute 40 or 50 miles
- to work each day. The "benefit" of living in the suburbs. After
- counting traffic jams during the rush hours, a 30-minute commute isn't
- unusual at all.
-
- And it would make much difference to me. If I lived 5 minutes from
- school, I'd probably spend more time at home, and come in when there
- are important things to do, instead of coming in for the entire day
- when I only do things for a few hours.
