That ' s fantastic . We have subsidized fast , cheap commutes for too long with tax dollars . It is completely unsustainable to keep sprawling cities out forever by building gigantic multi billion dollar roads out of the taxpayers pockets . If you choose to live a long commute away you should either pay for the privilege of your fast commute or face the reality of your economic decision . These are the last days of the worst subsidy in our nation ' s modern history and the end can ' t come soon enough . <| sep |> exactly , apt pinning is great for this , running testing with sid repos on lower priorities . <| sep |> I actually lost it at the 056 second mark when the male news anchor makes that confused look face <| sep |> OMG ! I am almost on the same boat as you . However , I am trying to move back home to Philadelphia from Indiana 3 hours from Chicago . Also currently in a LDR with girlfriend in Philly got into relationship a year after I moved to Indiana for a job . I have discussed with the gf and allowed myself a time limit to move back regardless of job availability , so pretty much around early late Februaryearly March . I am sorry that Philly didn ' t feel like home to you . Chicago is definitely better IMO but I was raised in Philly so that is where my heart is . I wish both of us the best of luck ! I have heard both sides of the story . Some say it ' s easier to find a job when you have a job however , I think our situation is quite unique . We are not searching locally , I feel like availability is very important when it comes to interviews . Most employers simply do not want to cater to our schedule due to travel arrangements , etc . Employers are also cautious when it comes to committing to nonlocal candidates , more often than not people decline offers at the very last minute screwing employers over . One of my current coworkers contract worker leveraged his offer with an outofstate company to get a FT position at current company and rescinded his acceptance of offer last minute few days before start date . Too many factors but it ' s ultimately up to us if we want to take the risk or not .
