Anyone commute daily for projects between SFO & LAX? Client is close to the airport and I wouldn’t mind seeing family every night. Cost is a wash between daily flights & staying in a hotel.

See if the flight path typically runs on schedule. Otherwise, it’s not bad. My old schedule was day trips on the east coast. The only caveat is that coordinating travel like that can actually be really tiring. More so than the hotel stays. Plan for it but see if there’s flexibility throughout the contract to either fly home or do hotel for when you need it

Had a client who did it for two years (was newly married and being home each night was important for them). See no reason why it’s not possible: have done day turns a lot—coffee & paper on the way down, beer & email on the way back.

Why would you do this? 😨 What about time to eat dinner, work out, decompress? I get the desire to be home, but it sounds like it would be tough on your body’s rhythms.

EY - because I’m one of the odd ducks that finds airports and planes relaxing. The minute the engines start to hum, I’m passed out. Doesn’t matter if the flight is 30 minutes or 8 hours

SFO - LAX is delayed often so I wouldn’t take my chances doing it on he daily

Know a Director who did this between MIA and TPA for two years

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing.

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
