So in reading the thread about the ctrain accident this morning, it brought to mind an article I read the other day. Sadly, I can't recall where I read it (likely one of the two newspapers) but it's main point was that the average commute time in Calgary was about an hour (one way).

Now, my commute is an hour and a half, but a lot of that involves bad transit connections, so it's only about an actual hour of travelling. I thought my commute was abnormal until I read that and started asking around. Seems that among my friends, an hour or so commuting isn't that out of the ordinary after all.

So, how long is your commute? While a commute is generally a large factor in choosing a living space, do you feel it would ever be a sole factor? Have you turned down a job (or a living space) because it was just too far from you? Would you?
