I have coworkers who have spent decades driving 3 hours or more every single day. I simply don't understand the willingness to do so. Maybe I value my free time more than my boss values my working time. I love a good road trip, but commuting is a tax on life and a tax on general well being.
I know a couple that live in OC and work in LA. They didn't like commuting either, and bought a 2nd house in LA near their work places and live there during the week while enjoying their plush OC home on weekends. I completely understand.
