> maybe the stress of commuting is a net negative
Commuting is considered one of the _most_ negative parts of a person's day, such that common advice is to seriously consider living closer to work at the expense of other amenities.

I think depends on the method of commuting. I do a combination of walking and train each day and it is one of the best parts of my day. I get exercise and free time to read, watch videos, or just space-out. I think people who bike or walk to work have a similarly positive perspective.
If I was driving on a gridlocked highway for 2 hours a day, I would hate it.
