Yes gas prices are a big factor but, you may want to look at this link that explains how effectivley gas prices will fall to $1! It is not only enteresting but, also applies “sound economic” principles which puts the current gas problem into perspective. http://home-buddies.com/gas-prices-fall-to-one-dollar/

This is a very interesting topic. Living in a city where mass transit is an option gas is a concern but it can be avoided. Even though you have rising gas prices looking to alternatives could be an option

Certainly, expenses are a big factor…but what about the time lost? I grew up out in the country, and routinely commuted to “downtown” most of my life. I laughed at the city folk, especially those in the highrises and condos. Now, I live ten minutes from the office, and have no yard work, AND all the saved expenses. It’s like an extra two days of free time every week! And no stress sitting in traffic, plus low miles on the car means no repair bills either. I never thought I would say it, but you couldn’t PAY me to live in the ‘burbs now.

This is a good topic to talk about. I think a lot of people are staying in their homes more and so they want their homes to be even more homier and closer to work, school, shopping and more. I know some people who have relocated either their job or their house to decrease the time to commute because they can’t live far away and still afford the type of house they want.

The gas prices are unbeliveable! I recently had to quit a part time job because half of my pay check was consumed in gas prices. On top of considering what job to take based on the distance from your house, you may want to consider getting a smaller car.
