Miami is used to work commutes. Transplants shocked by it, would be welcomed to go the fuck back where they came from to ease congestion.

I'm in central Broward, that puts me central to either Palm Beach travel 45 minutes north, or South Miami destinations like Homestead, South Beach, Coral Gables which all on average are a 45 minute commute. I worked with people in my last company that drove from Lakeworth every day, that's a 1 hour and 20 minute drive on a good day. My daughter is currently commuting to South Miami to her first IT gig out of college. She loves it, but in the months the clock is set back, traffic comes to a grinding halt when it gets dusk on the highways. It often takes her an hour and a half to get back home.

I drove an average 14 miles per hour for a one hour commute near Fort McNair (Washington DC) to near Thomas Edison High School (Kingstowne neighborhood of Alexandria, VA) during rush hour. It was about a 1 hour commute on an average day during the mid 2000's.

stupid, but stupid choices is sbux game.

The way it's done here, is people just go to work at 05:00 am and leave a at 14:00 pm.

Part of the reason I started biking constantly is it really made no difference if I drove or biked, it took about the same time, but in one case, I at least got a workout.

Agreed. I biked to work for more than 20 years. For most of those jobs, it took longer to bike, but I did it for the workout, and to save money, and because I enjoyed biking.

Developers are already dopping prices on new homes. Of course they are starting from a ridiculously overpriced list price.

The Estates at Dry Creek Ranch. You see, they are not homes, but "Estates."

Now who the fuck would plunk down over $1 million for this shit, except equity rich assholes from Commiefornia? And now a lot of those folks have to go back to the office, assuming their app crap company still will employ them.

Love the photo of the 60 year-old dude with the hottie younger wife. O. K.

Who the fuck pays that much to live in Boise???

Those that had read the Scott Adams Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy may recall the useless eater folks that were put on a space ship that eventually came to populate the planet Earth. Telephone sanitizers were on the list. I would argue, as well, folks that take glamor shots and create glamor videos of RE would be on that ship.

"The Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B was a way of removing the basically useless citizens from the planet of Golgafrincham. A variety of stories were formed about the doom of the planet, such as blowing up, crashing into the sun or being eaten by a mutant star goat. The ship was filled with all the middlemen of Golgafrincham, such as the telephone sanitisers, account executives, hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, public relations executives, and management consultants.

Ark Fleet ships A and C were supposed to carry the people who ruled, thought, or actually did useful work.

The ship was programmed to crash onto its designated planet, Earth. The captain remembers that he was told a good reason for this, but had forgotten it, although the reason was later revealed to be because the Ark Ship B Golgafrinchans were a 'bunch of useless idiots'."

Why not all marketing and advertising then? Show me on the doll where the Realtor hurt you.

I don't know that all marketing and advertising is living off the grift.

The NAR is certainly an effective monopoly imo. But so are many other groups/corporations/associations. Real estate photography and videography is no more or less fluffy than any other. In fact it may be some of the most honest marketing photography out there. Why, because agents and sellers get sued for misrepresenting a property. I know of a case where the buyer sued the seller and agent because the nighttime view of the home had been misrepresented with flash/lighting that did not convey with the home. The seller and/or agent had to install outdoor lighting to match the photo. As a pretty hard and fast rule, tour companies and photographers will not photoshop anything other than changing the sky to blue, changing the grass to green, putting fire in fireplaces and virtually staging a home. That's about all they will do. There is no photoshopping carpet stains or colors of walls or utility wires or water towers etc.

In the DC area, and I think most area they have something called "super commuters". It's a thing where for some reason there are people who don't give a shit that they live excessively far from work. Like more then 1 hour each way when there is no traffic (federal holiday) and like at least 2 hours each way if the roads are wet. I don't know how they do it. And everyone knows someone who does this. Like people who live in Pennsylvania and West Virginia who commute to the DC area. I used toi work with someone who lived in Annapolis, MD who worked on Capital Hill in DC.

Yeah, I knew people who lived near Harpers Ferry, WV and commuted to DC, but I think they took the train.
