Most people don't commute 2-3 hrs by choice. The fact is most people that do this can't afford to live in the Bay Area, especially if they insist on buying a large home. If the cost of living ever dropped in the Bay Area, a good portion of Stockton would pack up and move. The jobs in this town are scarce and mostly low paying jobs for mostly an uneducated workforce. That's why most professionals work someplace else and 95% of the University students leave the area after graduating. Throw in the air pollution and crime and there's no reason to live here...Sacramento is much better option if one can't afford the Bay Area.
