Having a 2-hour commute driving in heavy traffic every day is something many people, myself included, would move across the country to avoid. In general, it's awful for one's relationships and health, and it's awful for the environment (perhaps less so with a Telsa or Chevy Bolt and solar panels, but that's presently an outlier).

It might be the right personal choice for some people, but public policy should not be designed so long commutes are the norm.
