Transportation costs are inconsequential when compared to the outrageous rent costs in the inner city. Were talking about a factor of 10+ here for a 30-40min drive/train.

I did that drive for 8 years so I could afford a 4 bed house, it was fine. The same money, a stones throw from work couldn't buy me a cardboard box

If you think your time is worth the extra rent costs then don't complain about the rent costs?

Redneckistan doesn't exist in my country so it's a non factor. I had no idea that concept encapsulated 100% of the area outside cities.
