The end of 80 mile commutes is coming.
This will be one of the big psychological factors that pop housing various suburban housing bubbles.
That will be a great day!
Well technically my commute is 18 miles round-trip...but...since I am in sales I drive a lot more than just to the office. And in my case there isn't much I can do about it. Most of my clients are in outlying rural areas so a car is a must. But-not driving at all means no income.
You may be right

Don't underestimate telecommuting and small business start-ups as a way for people to support their families in the communities they WANT to live in.
I was thinking somehting along those lines as well. But that will cause an increase in housing prices in places where work in order to cut commute expenses. I think things will, overall balance out with the distant suburbs being hit the worst. Also, I worry about manufacturing costs. Anything made out of plastic comes from oil. Raw material prices are liekyl to go up, too. So you get hit by fuel costs and consumer prices in a one-two punch. Fortunately, the material cost is a small part of most manufactuered goods, but energy costs are factored in there, too.
How does this effect those people that currently have these huge commutes, but don't have the money to move closer to their jobs?

Just in time for the information revolution.
How will it pop the bubble? It could keep people in their houses longer. Especially if they work there. Parents might see their kids.

Oil prices are hurting every state.
What a bunch of wimps! Sheesh! I just put $100.00 in my car in 7 days driving back and forth due to a mom in the hospital and a sick dad and my children moving and so on. It stung but life goes on!
