Looking at a new apartment tomorrow which looks perfect from the photos and the price is right and it is in the city center and it has a garage for my car.... however, if I take it, my commute will go from being a 5 minute walk to being a 45 minute drive or 1 hour on public transportation.
I live and work out in the middle of nowhere and want to live in a city but the commute might destroy me. But it will make my weekends infinitely better (more skatespots, more people in my peer group, closer to the airport for weekends out of town, 2 blocks from a major train hub, etc.).
