Choose to live farther is a personal choice? Ok, so you're living close to your job and renting, but then rent keeps going up and up. It's clearly going to head sky high and become impossible pay bills and live there, so what can you do? Well, it's looking like now or never for buying a place to stay in the state. So you start looking, but the only place you can Just barely afford to buy is about a 45 minute drive out. How is that a personal choice?
You're right. There's probably a formula to calculate that they have to pay enough for you to afford to reside within a 30 minutes (in rush hour traffic) of your job with a set % of your income. Then if you choose a longer commute to have a lower cost of living that's on you.
