The higher your salary, the longer the commute?

This may be true. My dad is a supervisor at a plant. He travels from Fort Lauderdale to Miami and back daily. That is over an hour each way. Bigger cities mean longer commutes. metro areas with the largest populations generally have the most time-consuming commutes. New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia—where commutes for high-paid professionals are the longest.
Do you know anyone with a very long commute to work?

It does make sense. With a higher salary you can buy houses in better areas. These areas are often more remote and removed from traffic and congestion. I'm a spartan sort of man, I would always want to live close to my work if at all possible.

Not in the way you mean but my husband and his boss do drive up to 2 overs to work on places in remodeling and building.My husband hates the long drives though.

That is about the truth of the matter. There is nothing in our area that pays anything and we live in the country away from bigger factories and companies that pay more.
