Yes. Absolutely. Better neighbourhoods, less affected by tube strikes and terrible London traffic, and makes you inherently more baller

Yes - for the convenience of not having to worry about national rail strikes, a world of yes. I live 2.5 miles from my office (zone 2) - my rent is probably the same as what rent + rail season ticket would be. Would take a lot more to convince me to sacrifice an additional 2 hours standing on a packed train every day.

PSA/rant: If you are sick, please stay home and do not go into the office!! Surprised that this even has to be said. Please do not try to be a martyr/hero by coming in - no one’s job is important enough to come in and get everyone sick (esp before Labor Day weekend!). And it’s so selfish to come in and risk getting everyone sick because you want face time with the boss.
