Living in a really traffic dense city can put you within a ten mile radius and on a two hour commute each way…
Try living on the south end of LA taking the 405 to the valley or WLA at rush hour b-(
Or the I-80 up in the bay… Ive done both and it’s HORRIBLE. So I guess “local” is a pretty relative term lol
And… yeah I would say that being local should be a factor… I just wasn’t sure of how big of a factor.
