Commuting 4 hours every day to avoid paying $4,500-a-month San Francisco rent

Some ideas on how to avoid a 4 hour commute AND also avoid $4,500 rent

1) get lots of roommates

2) live in a "bad" neighborhood closer to work

3) commute to work by gyrocopter if possible

4) lobby local government for more high-rises and train lines

5) negotiate a remote contract

6) sleep in the office

I decided to move to a quite rural area that's still maybe 1.5 hrs away from a major city and airport. My car costs me maybe $200 a month in total and the commute is 25 mins of easy highway miles. Not the best, but not worst. Transport in so many American cities is truly torture
