A 6 Hour Commute
This poor women commutes 6 hours each day because she can't afford to live closer to work. Last year I spent a week commuting from Jackson (NJ) to NYC and I couldn't believe that the Parkway was filled at 6:AM with cars that were coming from points further south heading towards the city. I thought that was a tough commute.

"And then there are the newest home buyers - often making incredible sacrifices for their piece of the American dream.
Kirsten O'Brien drives six hours a day from her new house in Yucca Valley to her teaching job in Watts. With rents and prices out of her reach in the L.A. Basin, the single mom decided the stability of homeownership was worth the long commute.
High home prices - coupled with overcrowding, traffic, air pollution and long commutes from far-flung subdivisions - are taking the sheen off the Golden State."

Suckers fooled everday into home ownership without considering the sacrifices.
It's going to end badly.
That is like 56,000 mile a year just to drive to work.
This means she has to buy a new car every two years or so.
I bet she says stuff like "I was tired of throwing my money away by renting." How much is she spending on gas? $1000 a month?
And this woman is teaching children?
What a stupid moron?
Lots of them today.
