For a few years in my teens (late 80's very early 90's) my dad worked in North Toronto and we lived in Brantford. He had to commute more than 3h a day back then, because even then it was just too damned expensive to live much closer to the Big Smoke. That problem has only gotten worse. Once you factor in property values and property taxes, people se it as a savings rather than a financial hit to live so far out.
