The story does not mention anything about families. If you have a child in school, you better have family or friends who can support the acute local needs of your child. How do you get back home when your child is ill or something else occurs and you need to be available?

One spouse does the super commute and the other works closer to home/school or maybe not at all. Otherwise you're having to hire sitters, caretakers, etc.
