<p>The rumor has been around off and on for a couple of years that my employer  might be moving but I found out today it's not a rumor.  We will be moving just north of Gainesville, Georgia which is about 30 minutes further from my house than now meaning a 50 to 60 minute commute each way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I'm debating about maybe renting my townhouse out at a discount do some people I know that won't trash it and buying a small mobile home for Gainesville.  The irony of ironies is I have tons of relatives in that area including a couple of family plots in cemeteries.  I haven't seen anyone on that side of the family for a couple of decades.  Maybe it's time to get reacquainted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My new office will be only 2/3 the size of my present office but I'll have a window.</p>

Is telecommuting out of the question?<br><br>
Also, a 60 minute commute these days (not counting gas prices) isn't that bad.<br><br>
having said that, I actually left my old job because of that very reason, but, I had a 1 1/2 hour commute one way.<br><br>
There is a woman in my office that lives in Maryland...about 1 1/2 hour commute, and her husband, works about 45 minutes further.<br><br>
They obviously drive in together, he drops her off, but still, over a 2 hour commute one way. How can they afford it?<br><br>
I don't understand it.

<p>  My wife's office is supposed to move in October.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Present location</p>
<p>  - moderate sized "offices" (i.e. movable walls, but they do go floor to ceiling)</p>
<p>  - outside the downtown core</p>
<p>  - plenty of free parking</p>
<p>  - plenty of nearby places to eat</p>
<p> </p>
<p>New location</p>
<p>  - downtown</p>
<p>  - paid parking spot on ninth floor of garage</p>
<p>  - much smaller open cubicles</p>
<p>  - much less convenient to dining</p>
<p>  - much closer to the state legislature (she works for the state)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She's not happy.</p>

Better to be going north on 85, 985 in the morning than south </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Too bad it's not Cumming. I own that place.<br>

<p>RV?.. prolly better than a mobile home, those things are impossible to sell unless you plan to just dump it eventually :shrug:</p>

<p>The problem with an RV is it would be too small for my cat and dog.  If I buy a mobile home it's going to be a small one that I don't really care if I'm able to sell or not.  However, finding a mobile home park that will allow me to have a cat and dog is another question.  So plan B may be to rent/buy a small 2 bedroom/1 bath house that shouldn't cost too much.  I'll only be staying there weekdays while returning to Tucker for weekends and holidays.  I'm not so sure I can deal with Gainesville on a permanent basis without a return on weekends to civilization.  </p>

<p> You should  get in contact with some of those relatives- maybe they have some friends with places for rent and/or other helpful info.  Don't discount RV's  for animals - some of those things with the pop outs and all are like sma;; houses.</p>

You can probably get a small place for a pretty decent price these days.
