The specific circumstance is your religious family indoctrinating you into thinking you have to have at least 6 children and then you have to move somewhere that you can afford that much space. It’s extremely common in the US.

LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 13 hours agoWhat an insane mentality. Barring some pretty specific circumstances I fail to see how anyone would be forced to endure 2 hr commutes.

Traffic is so shitty, it takes two hours to go 20 miles by freeway.

My husband is blue collar. He goes where things need to be fixed. Sometimes his commute is 15 minutes, but it’s often 2 hours, when you factor in distance and traffic. A lot of blue collar deals with this, and yeah. We choose that shit over being homeless. His tech field laid him and everyone else off a few years ago.
