Funny you should say this. After being in the tech industry and chained to various offices in one of the most expensive states in the nation (NJ) I'm getting back into the aviation biz so I can relocate and live where I want, among other reasons.
Commuting may suck, and I do plan to avoid it to the extent possible but I agree you should not underestimate the value of living where it is cheap(er) to live or simply where you enjoy living, rather than being forced to move to wherever your pointy-haired boss lives and works.
