We're trying to do this, especially for the next few months. Due to a dismal lack of future vision, our jobs changed and the 45 foot commute turned into 45 miles. Ugh! Moving to be near a job can backfire. And we intended to stay put so we bought the house. Jobs are now in nearby much more expensive place so we've been commuting but have decided to rent a tiny apartment for the months the Northern hemisphere has winter. We should be able to cut our driving in half, and potentially pay for teeny-tiny apartment in the process.
