I live a 15 minute drive from my city, but it took me an hour and a half to get home in rush hour a couple weeks ago. I guess it’s my fault though for being stupid and not paying even more of a premium to live within a block of my office.
You are responsible for your choices, yes.
But it sounds like you are bringing up the exception rather than the rule so don’t know what to tell you there.
