A magical solution would be so nice! (I'm crossing my fingers for a teleportation system so I can live in East Podunk and still work in a job that matches my degree. Dreams!)
Hour-long commutes are a possible alternative here, but that would suck for a bunch of obvious reasons. Oof, yeah. I find my will to live disappears at the half hour mark. (Though I heard once of a couple originally from Lapland where the wife found a job on one side of Finland, the husband on the other, and they lived in the center. She thought a two-hour drive was all fine and dandy and quite short on balance.)
I barely ever went outside voluntarily except going to and from class, which was, uh, probably not the healthiest thing. Going out into public spaces is so much more of a barrier than going out into the private garden from which no neighbors can be seen, yes. The great outdoors is good for you, but all the outdoors nearby involve walking past people.
