Staten Island also has the longest average commutes of any place nationwide, iirc.

Can confirm... I live in the South Shore and commute to FiDi is either 1 hour to up to 3 hours there sometimes... Depending on traffic, weather, if my bus chooses to run on a regular schedule etc. Thank god for flex time.

3 hours?? Takes about as long to get from NYC to Baltimore, do you plan on moving?

When my husband retires, maybe. We're from North Jersey originally. I still have to go to the city, so it would take me half the time from there.

It's actually not so bad as long as the bus is running on time. My mortgage is locked in at a good rate since we bought it in 2014, so it's affordable living out here. I'm probably not as sleep deprived as most from here lol

Yeah lol city employment brought us there... We've been out here about 18 years now. It's honestly just like North Jersey, traffic and all.
