Sure they can. Its just a matter of choice. $300k tiny condo, vs. $300k luxury townhome.

If you dont work in NoVa or DC where the job market is for most of us isat/cs/business majors is... thats not much of an option. Even if I did find a job out in in the valley i'm not sure I'd take it - as much as I hate nova, I like being near my friends and family if I'm going to live here.
Having a long commute sitting in traffic severly impacts my quality of life. Thats my choice though. I'm not as bad as Chris, but I sure would like a 4 mile commute. As it is right now, my 15 mile backroads commute on the bike really isnt bad. 28 minutes door-to-desk.
