TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail.

that’s all by bus, really. I live at the top of a hill that used to be used as a qualifier in a professional bicycling circuit. I tried getting up it on pedal power, it’s just too much.

I got an eBike recently though, it really does make that hill a breeze.
