<prompt> Human: Hi,My wife and I are relocating to CA for work and looking into housing. Its definitely expensive, but we are trying to make a location decision. There are some apartments that would be very close to my work 3 min drive and 7 min bike ride which would allow my wife to have the car for whatever job she gets. Otherwise apartments that are further away 35-45min drive are a bit cheaper, but will require us to get another vehicle and pay for gas, insurance, maintenance, and taxes. What do you think is the better option? Living close with one car or living somewhere cheaper and buying a second car? Thanks!  <response>: Id rather choose to pay more rent, than wasting 80 min a day in a car. Its not just money that your saving without a second car. Its also time and time is precious. I just recently moved from an 60 min drive to work to now 9 min subway or 15 min bike. The higher price is worth everything :
