    A move is strictly necessary, the commute would be just a killer.

        One of my co-workers owns what would amount to a multi-million dollar house in Rosarito, and commutes to San Diego as a mechanic (and not a good one at that).

          I've met a guy who was commuting from TJ to SD for a grocery job. He had an apartment he could live in with his dog for a couple hundo a month.

      Windsor to Heathrow can take well over an hour. I don't think this is a good option.
