Not so much here.
Sure you can live in Memphis and convince yourself it's ok... or not. The choice is yours.
I'm a commuter and haven't flown in 2 weeks either... beard was YUUUUGE.
I'm glad you're happy where ever you're living and commuting. I love Memphis and there aren't many places I'd rather live. We're building a massive house in the suburbs and we pay no state income tax. The schools are great out here. The cost of living is the lowest I know of in America. There's no crime where I live. The weather is like I'm use to having lived in Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. I've lived in the South East or Texas my entire life. I love it here. I probably would have no interest in living where you live, so it works great for both of us. I wouldn't want to fly a double dead head trip out of your town that has me hub turning every night.
Again... It's what I love about my job. You're happy commuting and I'm happy here in Memphis. There's something for everyone.
