An hour spent commuting is 1/16th of your daily life, and that hour is by far the biggest risk to your life every day. You should be getting triple pay to ameliorate the hazard risk it represents.

    On top of my suspicion that your mental image of “cities” is just downtown Manhattan, which not all cities and certainly not all parts of any city are like, the fact that you mentioned having a 10 minute commute says to me that you definitely don’t live in a rural location. Simply living in a suburb does not mean you are living in the country, and there has been research done that people are much more likely to think they live in a rural location when they very much don’t if they live in a suburb of a much more dense city.

      Suburbs is actually which I hate the worst but ironically live in. It lacks the convenience of the city with no real significant increase in nature. It just has more lawns over the city and lacks a lot of plant diversity as the city is more likely to throw some trees and bushes and various greenery in the public space or require buildings to have it over the burbs which is just house and lawns. Problem is the burbs are a bit cheaper mostly and have some public transit that connects up with the city system.
