I mean, that's its own pretty horrible problem with how our city planning works.

This is the real issue. Family living in the inner 'burbs or fringe is either impossible or just way out of reach. But then I have to drive a minimum of 45mins to get to the city.

Worse still, I live in the SE and work in the west. I have to drive a minimum of 65km each way for work. And public transport just isn't an option for what I do, and where I work.
