If the cost/benefit tilts that way for you, or anyone, and I totally understand that it does for a lot of folks, then that is what it is. One should still be aware of it, and make the choice with their eyes wide open.
And, yes, then don't ***** about it.
I'm with Frip on this one. I've lived in base for a long time, but started commuting again a year ago. It flat out sucks, and is the reason we will soon list our house, and get started on making the move.
I have absolutely no desire to live where we will end up, but it will be better for my family.
Do what works best for you and yours.
